Let Go Let God Be Secure

My Spiritual Roots Are Strong In God. I Am Secure.

Young trees grow tall and stretch skyward, their branches spreading wide and their green leaves glistening in the sun. Even as trees grow up, they are also growing down, roots extending into the earth, drawing sustenance from the soil in which they are planted. Stormy winds and rain may cause the trees to shake and bend, but they do not break because of the strong roots anchoring them in place. Like the tree, I am rooted in the love of God. This is my enduring security when the rough winds of life whip around me and I must bend to adapt to shifting circumstance. The presence of God is my source of stability and safety, through every season of life. 

You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”—Psalm 91:1-2

Let Go Let God Bring Grace

Loving Hearts And Caring Hands Bring Grace Into The World.

The gift of divine grace often comes into my life through the presence of my dear ones—my friends and family—who somehow know just the right things to say or show up to help without being asked. I feel the presence of God through the kindness of their words and through the work of their hands. Likewise, I am blessed to realize others can know God’s grace through me. This realization gives added meaning to my impulse to help and serve. I see myself as doing more than completing tasks or doing favors for others. Now I see myself as a divine channel through which grace manifests on earth. Grace is God’s gift to me. It’s also God’s gift given through me, blessing everyone in its path. 

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 Trust Divine Order

I Trust The  Process Of Life.

When I clean out a closet, the process of organization can look messy. As I sort the items, I am establishing a system of order giving everything its proper place. After the project is done, things will be taken out and put back again. I use the power of order to change and adapt as often as necessary. In the same way, I use divine order to maintain equilibrium and keep my life in balance. Just as I trust the ocean’s tides will ebb and flow and the seasons will change, I trust I can keep my life in order. I find comfort in the rhythms of the universe and use them in my daily life. I create and maintain structures and routines that give me stability and safety. When life feels chaotic, I affirm divine order and rest assured all will be well. 

He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.—Psalm 147:15

Let Go Let God Be A Visionary

I Am Divinely Inspired With Creativity. I Am A Visionary.

In the past I may have been advised to get my head out of the clouds or be less fanciful and more practical. But using my divine gifts of faith and imagination is one of the most useful, practical things I can do. I see myself in the stories of biblical figures whose dreams led to breakthroughs in spiritual understanding. With the clarity of spiritual vision, I use wisdom to discern what is right for my life and will to choose the direction to follow. My gift of order helps me know where to begin, and zeal gives me the spark to get started. Mine is the life of a visionary, a mystic. I pay attention to my dreams and inspirations and act upon them to help my visions become reality. 

The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask what I should give you.” And Solomon said, “… Give your servant … an understanding mind to govern your people.”—1 Kings 3:5-6, 9

Let Go Let God Feel Calm

My Calm Demeanor Helps Me Bring The Peace Of God Into The World.

I marvel at people who seem unflappable even under the most agitating circumstances. They meet people and situations with steadiness and serenity, bringing a calm bearing that helps defuse tension. I can learn something important from these special ones. They are not calm because they never encounter troubling situations. They are calm despite them. I want to claim their calmness as my own. I begin by realizing no matter what is happening in my life, I can choose my reaction. I use the affirmation I am calm. I am at peace. I repeat these words aloud and silently until they fill my mind, and I feel calmness permeate my soul. I no longer seek peace because I am peaceful. 

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.—Matthew 11:28 

Let Go Let God Grow In Optimism

Optimism Colors My World With Love.

My experience of the world depends on the attitude I bring to it. When I hold positive thoughts and share the love in my heart generously, the world becomes an inviting, friendly place. Optimism makes me a magnet for positive people, exciting opportunities, and serendipity of all kinds. It lifts my consciousness out of the mire of worry, anxiety, and fear and keeps me focused on the beauty of the earth, the goodness of people, and the presence and power of God. When I perceive God in the kind acts, selfless impulses, and loving service happening all around me, my optimism grows. I feel renewed and inspired as I focus on what is right and good in my life. In gratitude for the world’s wonders, I grow in optimism. 

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.—Romans 12:21

Let Go Let God With Zeal

Zeal Fuels My Appetite For Life.

Almost everyone has a special interest that fills them with enthusiasm, including me. For instance, I may be finished for the day with the work I love but eager to go back to it tomorrow. This feeling is zeal. Zeal gives me the energy to pursue my dreams. I can work toward my passion tirelessly because it brings me joy. This joy boosts my mood and elevates my outlook. My enthusiasm is evident to everyone around me. I am happy to share my passion with anyone who asks. Zeal energizes me in body, mind, and soul. To remain divinely inspired, I make sure to prioritize time in prayer and meditation every day. Staying connected to my divine source helps kindle my passion and inspires me to pursue the things that spark my zeal. 

Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.—Romans 12:11
