Let Go Let God Find Inner Peace

Faith Is My Power To Calm Any Storm And Find Peace.

In the gospel story of Jesus sleeping in the hull of a boat during a raging storm, the disciples were in a panic, certain they would perish.  They were stunned Jesus could be at rest during such upheaval. When they awakened Jesus, he asked them where their faith was. He then quieted the storm and said, “Peace, be still.” I remember this story anytime I find myself caught up in life’s storms—I remember other challenges I have faced and overcome. I trust I will come through this one too. My faith is strong and has more than enough power to sustain and carry me through. I remember the Christ presence is within me, and I open my heart and feel my oneness with God. As I do, I find that peace is mine. 

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.—John 14:27

Let Go Let God Be Eternally Free

I Am Grateful To Be Free In God.

If I have struggled for release from oppressive circumstances, if I have wished for relief from burdens or freedom from limitations, it’s likely I have felt frustrated and disappointed. It’s when I realize and claim my spiritual freedom that I loosen the tight grip of my worldly situations. In God, I am free. At the level of Spirit, nothing binds me. As a divine being, I am in the world but not of it. As I carry these awarenesses with me, I feel newly serene. I choose to meet life from my spiritual center, empowering myself with affirmative thoughts and a positive attitude. This is the key to my freedom, and no one and nothing can take it from me. My worldly situations may not have changed, but I have. From this place of empowerment, I am eternally free.

I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought your precepts.—Psalm 119:45

Let Go Let God Give

I Give Generously And Know True Abundance.

Generosity places and keeps me in the ever-flowing stream of plenty. When I give with joy, I am affirming my place in an abundant universe. Giving aligns me with the divine idea of prosperity and allows me to be a channel through which the gifts of Spirit flow freely. Fearful feelings and worrisome thoughts of insufficiency collect like sticks and leaves that block the free flow of abundance. When I notice thoughts and feelings of lack, I shift my focus to the richness of life—nature’s bounty, plenty of laughter, and the love of my dear ones. As thoughts of scarcity fade, I give what I have to others, sharing a smile, kind words, or a listening ear. Once again, I join the flow of abundance.

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7

Let Go Let God Accept Grace

The Depths Of Life Lead Me To The Heights Of Grace.

It’s natural to be eager to move through difficult or unwelcome situations as quickly as possible. But if I bring my full presence and mindful attention to these circumstances, I have a unique opportunity to deepen in the awareness of God’s grace. Uncomfortable experiences might lead me to seek and accept help from others, where before I was tempted to go it alone. I may find myself blessed by fortunate coincidences, a surprise blessing, or a seeming lucky break. God’s grace is in the serendipity, kindnesses, and harmonious resolutions that come my way from all kinds of sources. It is the reminder that even if I feel alone, I can never be apart from my divine source that blesses me, often in ways I could not predict. 

May grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.—2 Peter 1:2

Let Go Let God Celebrate Centennial

God In Me Is My Light And My Understanding.

Unity is celebrating the launch of Daily Word magazine 100 years ago today. For a century, their little devotional has provided inspiring words to live by and hope to those struggling with challenges. Today we unite in the first-ever Daily Word affirmation: God in me is my light and my understanding. The first message is as true today as it was 100 years ago: “Begin today to rise out of the belief that by nature you are limited in understanding. Never think or say that anything is too difficult for you to comprehend … Learn to rely upon the light of God within to make clear whatever you wish to know.” Dear friend, thank you for celebrating their centennial with us today. Let your light shine as wisdom and understanding. Know you are wise, loving, and spiritually free. 

Let light shine out of darkness.—2 Corinthians 4:6

Let Go Let God Envision World Peace

Affirming The Divinity Of The World's People, I Envision World Peace.

Peace is meant for every person of every faith in every land. Today I look beyond the news of the world, reports of strife and conflict, even the agitation and unforgiveness in my own heart, and find the peace of God. I believe the desire for lasting peace is within each person’s heart. In prayer, I affirm this truth and envision this desire growing stronger among the world’s people until peace can no longer be denied. It is our shared destiny to live in peace. When each person wants for all people what they want for themselves, harmony will blanket the earth. I affirm the peace I wish for myself is dawning in the hearts of others. In prayer, I see them safe and secure in the heart of God, forever at peace. 

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you.—2 Thessalonians 3:16

Let Go Let God Be Worthy

I Am Worthy And Proud.

Knowing my oneness with God means knowing my worth and that I matter. I will no longer play it small or shrink in fear. This is a new moment, and I courageously embrace all that I am as a unique, divine creation deserving the best life has to offer. I am ready to be seen for who I am. I am proud to speak my truth and be my authentic self. I do not need anyone’s approval to be content and at peace. I let my light shine in a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. I am a spiritual being, overflowing with divine gifts of life, love, joy, peace, and abundance. I affirm my worth and commit to being a voice for those who have yet to know theirs. I honor God’s light in everyone. 

I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9
