Let Go Let God With Self-Care

I Honor God When I Take Care Of Myself. 

There are so many ways I can use my life to honor God. I can serve, give generously of my time and treasure, and reach out in compassion to those who are hurting. In fact, sometimes I focus so intently on what I have to give and the ways I can serve that I don’t make myself enough of a priority. But all the ways I can care for myself—with rest and nutrition, quiet moments with family and friends, and fun doing my favorite things—are not only good for my physical and emotional health, they nurture my spiritual health too. The more I care for myself, the more beautifully and completely I realize my divine nature and the more fully I can be the hands and heart of God in the world. Renewed and refreshed, I shine the light of God wherever I go.

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?—1 Corinthians 3:16

Let Go Let God On This Epiphany

I Joyfully Discover The Christ Everywhere. 

Epiphany celebrates the day wise seekers from the east—magi in the Bible—arrived at Bethlehem and offered their gifts to the newborn Jesus. Today I receive these gifts anew when I center my heart on the presence and power of God. I accept the true gift of the magi, given to all, and harken to the epiphany of Christ within me. Like the magi, I joyfully discover my divinity in every area of life. If health challenges loom large, I rest in the awareness of the Christ within and touch the indwelling healing presence. I affirm: I am eternally whole and vibrant. If I feel lonely or challenged by life’s circumstances, I focus on the Christ within and feel God’s light upon me. I affirm: I arise, shine, and know all is truly well.

Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.—Isaiah 60:1

Let Go Let God Claim Prosperity

I Am Rich In Divine Ideas. 

When I want to have a fuller experience of life, I think about all the ways divine ideas prosper me. Prosperity itself is a divine idea, the faith-filled assurance that every good thing I can imagine or desire begins in divine mind and grows in my consciousness before manifesting in the world. Claiming the divine idea of wholeness can lead to my healing. The divine idea of love attracts me to those people and situations that fill my heart. The divine idea of peace keeps me grounded and calm when the storms of life swirl around me. Centered in God, I am prospered by divine ideas. I know that I am a spiritual being and, as such, I am abundantly blessed.

Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and prosperity.—Proverbs 8:18

Let Go Let God Protect

I Find My Protection In My Awareness Of God. 

When the world feels chaotic or even a little scary, I place my attention on the unchanging, unlimited love and strength of God. The presence and power of God is never diminished by the events and circumstances of the world. I feel protected when I align my thoughts and feelings with this truth, when I take it into my heart and feel its protection like a fortress shielding me from harm. I return to this image of God’s strength if I feel myself pulled into fearful thinking. My mind and body start to settle, and a feeling of security embraces me like a cozy blanket. Each time I connect with God, I feel the everlasting protection that lives deep within me.

You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.—Psalm 32:7

Let Go Let God Be Filled With Joy

I Am Filled With Joy Today. 

I am blissfully happy on this wonderful day. In fact, my heart is filled with so much joy that I want to share it everywhere I go and with everyone I meet. As I have grown spiritually, I have deepened my joy. I understand true joy doesn’t come from having possessions or the perfect home. Neither does it come from cultivating a flawless appearance. All these things can be gone in the blink of an eye. But when I have spiritual joy in my mind and heart, I trust in its permanence. True, lifelong joy derives from my relationship with God. I practice deepening this connection by beholding the Divine in everyone. I know we are all part of this wonderful Spirit. As I share my heartfelt gladness through words and actions, my joy grows and grows.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.—Psalm 32:11

Let Go Let God Find Clarity

Time Spent Communing With God Gives Me Clarity. 

When I gaze toward the heavens on a moonlit night, I expect to see twinkling stars and constellations. But if I use a telescope, I can see details with much greater clarity. This example could describe my spiritual life as well. I may go about my day mindful of my blissful feelings and kinship with all the people. These things and more are the fruits of my faith. But I find clarity during times of intentional contemplation, when I meditate upon the truth I feel the presence of God fill my consciousness and touch my heart. This clarity informs my thoughts, words, and actions, bringing my faith to vivid life.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.—1 Corinthians 13:12

Let Go Let God In The New Year

I Joyfully Create The Year Anew. 

I greet this day feeling grateful as I begin another year. It is stretched out before me like a blank canvas, inviting my unique designs and bright colors. I use my zeal and imagination to dream big dreams and make bold plans. I release the past, taking from it precious memories and invaluable experience. Even the experiences that were not especially happy have helped bring me to where I am today. I feel confident and self-assured knowing that I go forth into the new year with God expressing as my creativity, my audacity, my kindness, and my compassion. My receptive, eager attitude for the coming year opens my heart to all the joy I am about to create. I smile and I let the wonder in!

But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting.—John 4:35
