Let Go Let God be Protected

I prepare for my day, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

 

I prepare myself mentally and physically for the day when I fix my first meal and look ahead to my schedule. I also prepare myself spiritually by centering myself in Truth with affirmations to align my thoughts and actions. I speak powerful words to myself that anchor me in the divine potential of spiritual essence—my I AM. “I AM Love” removes anger, judgment, or revenge. “I AM Wisdom” eliminates fear or doubt. “I AM Life” fills me with the healing peace of my eternal nature and releases the belief that any physical appearance could limit my divine nature. I print my statements and put them where I see them throughout the day. Reflecting on these Truth statements protects my mind from error thoughts.

From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.—1 John 4:6

Let Go Let God Open to Learning

My heart and mind are open to learning and growing.

 

A folktale shares how a spiritual master poured tea into a student’s cup until it overflowed. The student exclaimed, “The cup is full; there isn’t room for more!” The master stopped pouring and said, “Before you are ready to learn, you must empty your cup.” When my mind is seemingly full of preconceived ideas and beliefs, I am not leaving room for Truth to enter. In order to grow into who God created me to be, I must remember to keep my heart and mind open. I step forward into a new way of being when I remain curious and allow God’s wisdom to instruct me. I am grateful for a new understanding and for all that God is teaching me. I am ready to learn!

Let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.—Proverbs 3:1-2

Let Go Let God in Happiness

I joyously express my divine nature.

 

I experience happiness in many ways: a baby’s first smile, the laughter of friends, or the beauty of a sunset. But these things alone cannot make me happy. My happiness is a result of my attitude—my inner workings. I begin my day with “happiness treatments.” I can affirm to myself: I am a joyous expression of God. I can also make my morning habit one of looking in the mirror to see the light of love looking back at me. Happiness begins within me and radiates from me to give a touch of love and warmth to my world. Even when I face a challenging situation, I do not let it get the best of me. The best of me is within—the power and strength of God. I let my inner nature of happiness flow from me, and I find peace in any circumstance.

Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy.—Psalm 149:5

Let Go Let God Forgive

When I forgive another, I become God’s love in action.

 

One of the most powerful ways God’s love is demonstrated is through forgiveness. When I forgive another, I become God’s love in action. Holding on to resentment, even for a short time, depletes my energy. So I refrain from doing so. I forgive readily and I forgive daily. Interestingly, the more willing I am to forgive, the less I need to. I see others in the light of acceptance and understanding. I know there have been times when I made some errors in judgment. Rather than living in regret, I make amends as I can. Then I consciously choose to extend the same forgiveness to myself as I do to others. I feel lighter and more on target with my purpose. That is the power of God’s love, through me, as forgiveness.

Neither do I condemn you.—John 8:11

Let Go Let God Soar

Faith lifts me up to greater heights of self-expression.

 

Eaglets learn to fly by first “branching”—moving away from the safety of the nest to nearby branches. In time, they move further from their comfort zone, strengthened by their wings and confidence. Eventually they move to the skies, taking a leap of faith to catch the wind currents and soar to new heights. Spirit in me will occasionally nudge me out of my comfort zone. Change is necessary for me to grow into my divine potential and rise to greater heights of self-expression. Even if I feel as though I am free-falling, I relax into my fears and trust the support of the Universe. I am created not merely to fly but to soar amid a radiant and ever-unfolding landscape of Spirit’s magnificent creation.

But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles.—Isaiah 40:31

Let Go Let God be Whole

I accept wholeness as the divine blueprint of my being.

 

Wholeness is the divine design of my being. When I align my thinking with this truth, I invigorate wholeness in every atom and cell. Myrtle Fillmore wrote: “God is the one perfect life flowing through us ... God is the only reality of us; all else is but a shadow.” I focus my awareness on patterns or beliefs that are not part of God’s will for me. I bring negative self-talk and doubts out of the shadow and release them into the light of transformation. Releasing lifts my consciousness to a new expectancy of wholeness. I speak words of truth, love, and gratitude to my body. My whole being—body, mind, and spirit—responds to divine life. I am renewed.

If then your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays.—Luke 11:36

Let Go Let God in Prosperity

Divine love flows to me as abundant good.

 

Worries about how to pay the bills keep my attention focused on lack rather than gratitude for the good in my life. I make a commitment to change my focus one thought at a time, one moment at a time, to maintain an attitude of gratitude. In her book The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, Rev. Edwene Gaines shares, “You can live according to your divine purpose, in line with God’s plan, with everything you could possibly want or need at your fingertips.” If I am seeking work or a change in my financial situation, I remind myself of those words. I joyfully affirm: Divine love flows to me as abundant good. I have faith that, even now, God’s love is blessing me in abundant ways.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.—Luke 6:38
