Let Go Let God Release

I release that which no longer serves me and open to abundant good.

 

Getting ready for a change of season, I may go through my closet and get rid of clothes I haven’t worn. They no longer appeal to me. In removing the old clothes, I make room for new ones. Other areas of my life benefit from this same process of release. I perform some spiritual housecleaning when I reflect on what is working in my life and what isn’t. I choose to let go of ideas, practices, or habits that no longer appeal to me. This act of release opens my mind to divine ideas that uplift and prosper me. Knowing my thoughts shape my life, I remain open to a continual flow of positive ideas.

Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.—Matthew 18:18

Let Go Let God with Vision

I am divinely inspired to do more and be more.

Visionaries exemplify the power of imagination and perseverance. In the same way, my own vision comes to fruition as I hold positive thoughts with faith. Pilot Amelia Earhart once said, “What do dreams know of boundaries?” There is no limit to what I can dream or achieve. When I draw upon my divine nature and use the universal principles available to all, the possibilities are endless!

You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last.—John 15:16

Let Go Let God Seek Strength

I am strong, wise, and loving.

 

God, give me strength! How many times have I prayed this prayer, often in desperation? Today as I seek strength to do all I have to do, I turn within. I align myself with the strength and power of God that is always within me. In this quiet time, I remember the truth: Strength is part of my divine makeup. I am innately strong, and I can do all things! If I should momentarily forget this truth, I step back and take a breath. Taking one brief moment to align myself with my divine nature, the God within, allows me to return to the situation with full awareness of my strength to manage anything. I bring peace and understanding to every situation.

I pray that ... he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit.—Ephesians 3:16-17

Let Go Let God Serve

I look for opportunities to serve.

 

I make a point of developing my spiritual life—I read and study, I pray and meditate, I am part of a spiritual community. But spiritual understanding doesn’t count for much unless I put it into action. So I look for ways to serve. Any act of kindness is a form of service. It might be volunteering to help the poor, but it also could be mowing a neighbor’s lawn, letting someone ahead in the grocery line, or carpooling with children. Service ranges from full-time caregiving to something as simple as listening. Anything I do to make life a little easier for another is service, and I see opportunities to serve as soon as I look for them. Service is a spiritual practice.

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.—1 Peter 4:10

Let Go Let God Pray for Others

I express love for others through prayer.

 

Treating others with love and kindness is a tenet of many religions and belief systems. Spiritual masters have taught the importance of love and compassion for others, even those who differ from or oppose us. Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself,” and Jesus and the Buddha both taught us to love our enemies. I can express love for others through prayer. I hold others in loving thought as I affirm their connection to God and envision their highest good unfolding. I do not judge past behaviors or future outcomes. Instead, I trust that divine order is at work in their lives. I pray for others with compassion and express unconditional love.

“You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say ... Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:43-44

Let Go Let God Share Prosperity

I happily share my abundance with others.

 

Created as a reflection of God, I already have everything I need. Like an overflowing cup of tea, I am filled with more than enough. I am prosperous because I am one with God, the infinite source of all that is. When I align my mind with this truth, I feel abundant and find joy in sharing with others. In order to ensure that I have plenty to give, I replenish my cup by taking care of my physical, mental, and spiritual needs. That way, I am not depleted and am able and eager to share from my abundance. I nurture the gifts that God has given me so they can grow. My cup runneth over, and I have plenty to share with others.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.—Psalm 23:5

Let Go Let God as a Pet Blessing

I bless and am blessed by my pet.

 

Pets teach us about love, understanding, acceptance—and patience! We also learn about ourselves and our ability to care for another living being. It is our responsibility and opportunity to provide for them. These dear ones express unconditional love and allow us to give love in return. They may provide us with safety and protection; certainly they give us comfort. Perhaps they bring joy as they entertain us with their personalities. My pet and I are linked. We are in each other’s lives for a reason. Our bond has grown into a close friendship. I am blessed in countless ways by my pet.

The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field.—Genesis 2:20
