Let Go Let God With Attention

I Place My Attention On The Best Aspects Of My Life. 

My attention is a powerful tool I can use to focus my thoughts and feelings. When I place my attention on my many blessings, I live in constant awareness of everything for which I am grateful, all that is good in my life. Living in this state of gratitude keeps me positive and expectant that even more good—more love, more joy, more peace, more prosperity—is on its way to me. As thoughts of gratitude fill my consciousness, my attention naturally goes to all that is beautiful and positive in my life. Soon, all worrisome and troubling thoughts are crowded out by the attention I place on my blessings, the goodness of the people in my life, the beauty of the natural world, and the love I feel for God.

Happy is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.—Proverbs 8:34

Let Go Let God Provide Comfort

Comfort Comes When I Embody God's Gentleness And Compassion. 

When I see someone in distress, I want to do what I can to ease their pain. I center myself so I can be spiritually present. At the core of my being, my divine nature knows just what to do and say to bring calm and ease. Sometimes there just are no words that can relieve another’s burden. It is then that my loving touch can speak volumes. If we are not together, then I send love and prayers across the miles. I trust that they will feel my prayer and be comforted by it. There are times when I may need comfort as well. I prioritize my needs and give myself the opportunity to take some time alone and find peace in whatever way works for me. God is with me and I am comforted.

Let your steadfast love become my comfort according to your promise to your servant.—Psalm 119:76

Let Go Let God Spread World Peace

My Peaceful Heart Spreads Peace Throughout The World. 

When I toss a pebble into still water, I can see ripples spread out from around it. One small pebble can create an effect that far extends outward. I remember this when I think of the state of the world today. The spiritual energy I put forth causes a ripple effect that extends beyond me and the people I know, reaching people I will likely never meet. A peaceful world begins with my peaceful heart. When I wonder what I can do to bring peace to the far corners of the world, I begin where I am. I am patient and understanding. I am quick to offer forgiveness and lend a helping hand. I trust that being a peaceful presence will reach far beyond me, blessing so many lives.

Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!”—Luke 10:23

Let Go Let God Live In Thankfulness

Thankfulness Is My Heart's Natural Expression.

I need no special reason to be thankful, no list of blessings to inspire gratitude. Rev. Eric Butterworth wrote, “One can be grateful with the same spontaneity as being happy. It simply flows forth from within and becomes a causative energy.” With a thankful mind and heart, I release worry and frustration, trusting that my every need will be met. I discover more of God’s presence in myself and others, everywhere I go. I see possibilities for good even in challenging circumstances. Eager to share my thankfulness, I welcome opportunities to be of service to others, just as I gratefully accept blessings shared with me. I live in the flow of life, love, peace, and abundant beauty. I am thankful!

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.—1 Thessalonians 5:18

Let Go Let God Relax

I Relax And Recharge As I Breathe Into This Moment. 

There are times when the clamor of my life makes me want to wall myself off from the world. While this is neither practical nor possible, I can step away, even if just for a moment or two. Stilling my thoughts and concentrating on my breath, I begin to let go. I release worry or anxiety. I think only of my oneness with God, a connection of love, wisdom, and peace. Attuning my spirit to God within, I find my innate peace and calmness. In these quiet moments, I create a positive, tranquil climate, and I feel fulfilled. I let stress fall away as I decompress and relax. Breathing and affirming peace, I nurture my mind, body, and spirit. Now fully charged, I am ready to reenter the world in a spirit of blissful calm.

Be still, and know that I am God!—Psalm 46:10

Let Go Let God Forgive

Through Forgiving Others, I Restore Myself. 

I may find it difficult to forgive others for something they have done if I perceive it to be wrong. Forgiveness can be even more difficult when another’s acts or words have left me feeling hurt. Jesus taught that forgiveness is something to be practiced often. It is truly a gift we give to ourselves. When I forgive another, my thought of that person is healed of the burden of my harsh judgment. I am restored, and I believe they are uplifted and restored as well. As I release my heavy load, I breathe, realizing that the grip I have held for so long on these individuals has kept only me in bondage. The pain has been mine, not theirs. Now I can move forward in lightness and freedom.

My friends, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.—Galatians 6:1

Let Go Let God Protect

I Bless The Earth With Love And Care. 

I am a caretaker of my beloved home, planet Earth. Just as I want my living space, my body, and my loved ones cared for and protected, I pray for and work to protect the earth. The Book of Genesis proclaims humankind was given dominion over the fish, birds, and living things of the earth. I accept this authority and use it wisely. I am mindful of steps I can take to support a healthy and vibrant planet. Recycling, opting for environmentally safe products, and working to eliminate litter and contamination help keep waterways, air, and environments safe for all life. In my spiritual practice I bless and give thanks in honor of the earth and for all those who share the call for its protection.

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.—Genesis 8:22
