Let Go Let God Forgive

I Extend Forgiveness To Myself.

Throughout my life, I have forgiven those who have hurt and disappointed me. In turn, I have been grateful when others extended understanding and forgiveness to me. Even though I have learned to be forgiving with others, I may still find it difficult to forgive myself for mistakes I’ve made, disappointments I have caused, and commitments I have broken. Today I open my heart, and with love and compassion, I forgive myself. I remind myself that everyone makes mistakes and deserves understanding and forgiveness, even me. I remember how the Prodigal Son’s father received him with joy when he came home. This joy is mine when I let go of self-condemnation and finally come home to myself.

But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.—Luke 15:20

Let Go Let God Find Inner Peace

I Dwell in the Peace of God. 

Relying on the world around me to give me peace is like gazing at a picture of food and expecting to feel full. As I withdraw my attention from outer things and focus on my inner peace, I attune to my spiritual nature. Nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul because my spirit is already serene. I have only to remember this by gently pausing, breathing, and remembering who I am. I welcome this feeling of peace by resting my mind and settling into the silence that I find deep within me. Everything I need for my poise and well-being is already mine. I claim my divine identity; I am an expression of God’s perfect peace. I am grateful to dwell in the harmonious balance of the peace of God.

In quietness and in trust shall be your strength.—Isaiah 30:15

Let Go Let God Rely Upon Divine Strength

I Rely Upon My Inexhaustible Spiritual Strength. 

When I carry a heavy load, my muscles can tire and my bones can grow weary. Unlike physical strength, spiritual strength is limitless, an aspect of my divine identity. I use my strength to stay the course when my attention wanes, maintain my endurance when I’m tempted to give up, and withstand my trials when it’s easier to give in. To refresh my awareness of my spiritual strength I close my eyes and imagine a tree with a wide trunk and roots that reach deep into the ground below. Even as hard rain falls and wild winds blow, the tree stands tall, unshaken by the weather, its roots holding it steady. Today I am like the tree, rooted in divine strength.

Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.—1 Corinthians 16:13-14 

Let Go Let God Pray For Others

I Share Love and Kindness Through My Prayers. 

There are many ways to be a supportive presence in the lives of the people I care about. I may offer a listening ear, a warm embrace, or a helping hand to show my love and concern or to ease another’s burden. I continue to offer my support through my prayers. As I center myself in the divine presence of God, I know prosperity, health, and peace for all those I hold in prayer. This knowing helps me, too, keeping me from worry and the futile feeling of wishing I could do more to help. My prayers are love and kindness in action. It is my joy to share the goodness and grace of God through prayer, to know the Truth for those in my life, especially when they are not able to see it for themselves.

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.—3 John 1:2

Let Go Let God Trust Divine Order

I Relax and Trust Divine Order. 

Sometimes my imagination runs wild if I let myself worry about how a situation will turn out. In fact, the more invested I am in an outcome, the more I may be troubled by thoughts of developments I do not want. When I catch myself ruminating, I take it as a cue to stop and affirm the process of divine order. I remind myself of the many times I could not see a solution to a problem, only to have it resolve in a surprising way. I recall times when I received unexpected assistance, a windfall, or an opportunity I could not have anticipated. Remembering these instances helps me remain positive about whatever I may be facing now. Affirming divine order is a bold declaration of my belief that God is in and through all things. Divine order is a blessing in my life.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.—Matthew 6:10

Let Go Let God Accept

Acceptance Is My Path To Peace. 

If I touch a rose’s petals, I may delight in their soft, velvety texture. If I hold the bloom to my face, its sweet scent may make me smile. Grasping a rose by the stem and touching the thorns, however, may pierce my skin and cause me pain. The seasons of my life are like the rose, sweet and soft as well as sharp and prickly. As I seek the rose’s beauty and fragrance, so, too, must I accept its thorns. In my life, I have enjoyed pleasure and plenty just as I have endured hardship and scarcity. Through times of joy and times of sorrow, I am grateful for the presence of God within and all around me. I accept my life as I accept the rose—from the dewy rosebud, to the rose’s fullest bloom, to its last, withering petals.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God has made the one as well as the other.–Ecclesiastes 7:14

Let Go Let God Claim Healing

I Am Healed Through The Divine Presence Within. 

When I am in need of healing, I do what is necessary to care for my body, mind, and spirit. I get proper rest and eat nutritious food, I cleanse my thoughts of worry, and I make time for devotional practices. As I commit to these activities, I create a fertile field for my healing. Knowing I’ve done everything I can to support my health makes it easier to release my healing concerns in prayer. I claim my wholeness in prayer, knowing and feeling grateful for the divine perfection of being made in God’s image and likeness. I carry this awareness with me. As I focus on wholeness, it grows in my consciousness. I continue to hold thoughts of health and wholeness and do everything I can to encourage them through my choices. I am healed.

I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; indeed, I will heal you.–2 Kings 20:5
