Let Go Let God in World Peace

I share my peace with the world.
 
If I am frustrated or upset about a situation in my life, I remember to pause, take a deep breath, and focus on harmony and understanding. My life is smoother when I come from a place of inner peace. As I deepen my daily prayer practice, I am more able to respond in peaceful, loving ways. I create a ripple of peace and understanding through my actions and attitude. My peaceful, cooperative, and kind outlook gently influences those around me to be more peaceful, cooperative, and kind. My shift in consciousness extends beyond my community to my country, continent, and the world. I envision our planet filled with peace, harmony, understanding, cooperation, and kindness.
Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—in peace because they trust in you.—Isaiah 26:3

Let Go Let God in Reflection

I am guided to an amazing new year.
 
As the year comes to a close, I take time for reflection. The new year is traditionally a time to release old thoughts and beliefs, launch new projects, and change old patterns. I ask myself: What troubles from the past am I ready to release? What hurts am I ready to forgive? What experiences and relationships do I want to manifest in the new year? I become still and turn within, opening my heart and mind to answers from the spirit of God within me. I prayerfully consider which steps are mine to take and remember to be patient with myself as I bravely try something new. Change happens one step at a time. I am guided to an amazing new year.
I am about to create new heavens ... a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered.—Isaiah 65:17

Let Go Let God with Inner Peace

Peace within me; peace around me.
 
I begin this day by calming my mind and centering myself through prayer. Finding a quiet place for a moment of solace, I relax into the process of connecting with God. With eyes closed and heart open, I rest. In the stillness, there are no outer distractions. Soon I am in alignment with infinite peace deep within me. I am at peace. I AM peace. As I stay in this healing abode of peace, I sense the stirring of something new: a more active peace; an inner strength that is dynamic and present in the world, not separate from it. From this sacred center at the core of my being, I engage with life and fulfill my purpose in new and satisfying ways. Peace restores and energizes me to do what is mine to do. Peace within me; peace around me.
 
Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.—Romans 14:19

Let Go Let God in Gratitude

I am grateful for the blessings in my life.

In a prayerful mindset I survey my many blessings: My life, my loved ones, my home, my community, and so much more. I let the depth of these blessings soothe my spirit. With joy in my heart, I say a prayer of gratitude for all of my many blessings: Thank You, God, for Your many gifts: life, abundance, understanding, faith, and so many more. I face each day with confidence and serenity, because You and I are one. My heart opens wide as I mentally embrace all the people and situations in my life. I behold the blessings of wisdom, compassion, clarity, love, joy, or friendship each has brought into my life and I am grateful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.—Colossians 3:16

Let Go Let God be Born Anew

I am born anew.
 
Every day my body is renewing itself. New skin is created, hair grows, and each organ remakes itself cell by cell. This same process applies to my inner life as well. I may have noticed a habit or reaction that I would like to change, a belief that is limiting, or a false story I am telling myself. In my prayer time I consider what the divine image of myself might be. It may be more compassionate, understanding, or forgiving. I hold this vision in my mind and heart, knowing it may take time to come to fruition. Each day I release old ways of being and give life to a renewed, radiant self.
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.—Colossians 3:9-10

Let Go Let God Be Authentic

I reveal the glory of my authentic self.
 
Psychologist Carl Jung said, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” A great wind of freedom blows when I identify who I am not, then peel back those layers to reveal my truest self. As a child, I may have learned to act in ways designed to please others. Yet now I know Spirit’s love is infinite and nonjudgmental. I drop the masks I wore to win others’ love and reveal my true self. I accept “the privilege of a lifetime” by getting to know myself better. I courageously dig deep into my heart and acknowledge my greatest passions and desires. I rejoice in revealing the authentic me.
You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self … and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.–Ephesians 4:22, 24

Let Go Let God on Christmas

Today I gift others with my presence.
 
On a day when gifts are often exchanged, I remember the most precious gift of all—the gift of pure presence. Practicing the presence of God is a form of prayer—a time of sacred communion with the indwelling Spirit. Practicing spiritual presence with another person is similar. I might initiate a round of gratitude-sharing at the family table. Or I might share my undivided attention with a friend who needs me. Whatever my activities today, I choose to treat every interaction as sacred. I honor the birth of Christ every time I live from my own divine nature and bear witness to the Christ Spirit in others.
I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.—Luke 2:10-11
