Let Go Let God Adapt

I adapt easily and effortlessly to changes in my life.

 

The world in which I live is filled with fluctuations and change. Although nothing external remains the same, at the core of my being, Spirit stays unchanging and eternal. The constant radiance of Spirit within allows me to adapt to changes in my environment. This divine influence provides warmth in the cold, light in the darkness, and guidance through unknown territory. My inner practices of meditation and self-awareness help me to access divine blessings, keeping me at peace with what is. Part of my adaptation is viewing what originally appeared as a challenge through the light and lens of God. I now see where creative solutions present themselves. I adapt easily and effortlessly to changes in my life.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.—Hebrews 13:8

Let Go Let God Forgive

I plant seeds of love in my heart.

 

The seeds I plant in my garden grow into flowers or vegetables according to the divine pattern within them. Reflecting on this idea in times of prayer, I realize that the seeds I sow within my mind and heart also produce according to their kind. So I plant seeds of love and kindness, compassion and forgiveness. I speak words of love—silently or aloud—to establish peace within and around me. I nurture the seeds of love I have sown, and they produce fruitful results in my interactions with others. This love helps me to forgive. With love in my heart, I look beyond the seeming negative experience to see the love and divinity that exists in all. My seeds of love yield a harvest of loving experiences.

If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.—1 John 4:12

Let Go Let God Express Creativity

I am an expression of the unlimited creativity of God.

 

Everything about me is unique—from my fingerprints and genes to the way I smile and laugh. God has created an infinite variety of plants, animals, insects, and humans. Not only am I a unique creation, I am a channel for that divine creative energy. In the beginning of any creative process there is a void. When I turn within in prayer, I prepare the way to fill that void as I receive new ideas, perspectives, and insights. No matter how many times I go through the creative process, moving from vague thoughts to focused ideas, from nothingness to abundance, from anxiety to creativity—it is a miracle each time. There is no end to God’s creativity expressing through me.

Remember the wonderful works he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.—Psalm 105:5

Let Go Let God Set Priorities

I choose activities that express my highest truth.

 

In her book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Bronnie Ware shares a common regret by those near the end of their lives: “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” I do not have to wait until it’s too late. I can live today being true to myself. I establish values and goals that feed my soul. What is most important to me, and why? After setting short- and long-term goals, I set priorities that support those goals, consistent with my values. I do the work I do with an attitude of enthusiasm and purpose. I take care of my physical body. I remain connected with Spirit. Carefully and joyously, I choose activities that express my highest truth.

Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Matthew 6:33

Let Go Let God Explore Possibilities

With high hopes, I move forward in a life of divine possibilities.

 

I can’t help but smile when I remember a song that mentions the high hopes of a tiny ant. In the song, the ant never doubted the possibility of lifting a rubber tree plant. I, too, am created to do the seemingly impossible. When I’m feeling down because my hopes and dreams seem out of reach, I remember to raise my expectations. My every hope and all my faith are in God. God created all forms of life with everything needed to not only survive but also to soar to new heights of attainment. Life is a continual exploration of possibilities. There will be times when I settle in and fully enjoy where I am and what I’m doing. If at any time thoughts of I can’t come to mind, I turn them into an affirmative: I can!

But Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”—Matthew 19:26

Let Go Let God Provide Healing

I am radiantly and vitally alive.

 

Water poured on a thirsty plant will cause it to perk up again. Rain falling on a parched field soaks to the roots and soon the field is lush again. When I feel depleted, I acknowledge the indwelling Holy Spirit that flows through me, restoring and revitalizing. Quiet moments of prayer open paths through which this healing Spirit can reach the depths of my soul. I relax in the healing presence of the Holy Spirit and feel the beginnings of wholeness. That same Spirit dwells within my family and friends as healing energy and renewal. I hold each one in prayerful thought and visualize health, healing, and wholeness. I give thanks for the healing energy that renews and regenerates. I am vitally alive.

Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth yielded its harvest.—James 5:18

Let Go Let God with Gladness

Joyfulness fills my heart as I give thanks for the spirit of God.

 

A familiar song reminds me “I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.” When I hear something upbeat, I can’t help but feel uplifted in Spirit—something I keep in mind for when I’m less than joyous. Through prayer, I connect at a heart and soul level to the loving, rejuvenating spirit of God. Prayer helps me let go of worries and opens my heart to a greater awareness of the unlimited, unconditional blessings of God. Prayer enables me to see my life and my concerns on a spiritual plane; to know that appearances are not the true picture of what is occurring. Beyond what I can see or hear is God, and God is at work in my life. With that knowledge, I am uplifted, I am confident. I feel true joy down in my heart!

And all the people went up following him, playing on pipes and rejoicing with great joy.—1 Kings 1:40
