Let Go, Let God

With A Grateful Heart, I Bid The Year Farewell.

As the year draws to a close, I reflect upon the joyful times as well as the lower points of the past several months. In a prayerful moment of contemplation, I feel gratitude as I accept all of it. I may have laughed and cried, celebrated and grieved, but I made it. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, I have met the year’s events with faith and have grown resilient. Now it’s time for me to let it all go as I prepare to begin again. I take the lessons of the past 12 months—their joys and sorrows—and prepare myself for the new year. I let go and let God as I spiritually surrender my hopes and dreams and even my fears. I am divinely guided and infinitely blessed. I step boldly and bravely into a year that is mine to live to the fullest. 

Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord.—Psalm 4:5

Let Go Let God Connect With Protection

I Am Protected By God's Love, Wisdom, Knowledge, And Grace

The love of God protects and surrounds me with a powerful presence and light. As I envision this radiant energy, I feel safe and secure in its enfolding care. I make wise choices and work in the best interest of my soul, taking my guidance from my indwelling divine wisdom. I am one with the all-knowing mind of God, the source of the ever-available knowledge within me. Whatever I need to realize is revealed to me. I know what to do, and I act with confidence. I am connected with the all-protecting grace of God, my bulwark and shield, safeguarding my soul and guiding my way. I act with confidence. My path is made clear and I am guided along my journey in a way that leads to my greatest good. 

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped.—Psalm 28:7 

Let Go Let God Delight In The Wonderful

I Delight in This Wonderful World.

The ability to be delighted, to experience wonder is a gift that enriches my life. Over the years, I have been grateful for the things I can enjoy without needing to explain, the wow moments that still happen, often when I least expect them. Seeing a meteor shower in the night sky or a brilliant rainbow after a rain, watching fresh snow sparkle like diamonds in the morning sun, noticing the first green shoots of spring—the more I become open to such wonders, the more wonderful opportunities I find. Acts of kindness and compassion and the feeling of harmony and peace are wonderful. Living in the flow of love that joins the human family in the allness of God is perhaps the greatest wonder I will ever know. 

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.—Psalm 19:1

Let Go Let God Relax

I Relax Into The Truth Of Myself As A Divine Being.

No matter what might be placing demands on my time and energy, I still take time to care for myself. I let my thoughts quiet so I might hear the still, small voice of Spirit within whispering, rest. As I affirm, I am in God and God is in me, I release my tension. In a few moments of respite, I repeat that affirmation while I return to the awareness of oneness. In this space, I feel myself relax. As I do, my view of life broadens, and I can see beyond my obligations and day-to-day concerns. This outlook helps me put my life in perspective. I am a spiritual being, endowed with the strength, will, and power of God. I relax into the awareness that no matter what I may face, I am more than equipped to meet it with ease and grace. 

Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.—Psalm 116:7 

Let Go Let God Be Free

I Am Free To Choose My Path Forward.

I am a spiritual being—a living, breathing, creative expression of God. My mind and heart are open and receptive to spiritual truth. If I feel weighed down by the affairs of the world or if my personal life feels burdensome, I turn to the freedom that is always mine as a divine being. I can choose to set my burdens aside and place my attention on God. As my awareness of God expands, I am unbound. I am free to choose my thoughts. I’m free to choose where to place my focus, what to believe, and how I spend my time. I free myself each time I consciously release my unwanted thoughts and feelings. I am not bound to the things of the world or even to my beliefs. When I change my thoughts, I change my life. This is the sweetest freedom. 

I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.—John 10:10

Let Go Let God As A Community

My Family And My Community Are My Strength And Support.

I am an individual in the world, but I am also a member of my family and community. The people who know me and the people who raised me have helped shape my understanding of the world and have given me the support I need to take my place in it. They are to me what good soil is to a budding flower. My roots are strong in my community, and I grow tall as I reach for opportunities to use my talents and gifts to the best of my ability. My dreams and my potential are without limit. My community of support knows this; it urges me forward to success and comforts me during times of disappointment. I feel the love of God in their words and actions, and return that love without hesitation. 

If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.—1 Corinthians 12:26 

Let Go Let God It's Christmas Day

I Celebrate Christmas With A Happy Heart.

The sun rises on a glorious Christmas morning, and my heart is full. The Advent journey has led me to this place, and my faith, peace, love, and joy fill my awareness and make the whole world feel bright and new. Today the Christ is born in me, yes, but it is also born anew around the world in so many hearts coming together to celebrate our spiritual gifts, our innate divinity. As the day unfolds, there may be smiles and hugs, gifts and holiday meals, gatherings large and small. Mostly though, there will be the presence of the Christ fully realized, a glimpse of heaven on earth. I pray we will carry Christmas in our hearts far beyond today and live more fully from our divinity, the Christ we are, every day of the year. 

To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.—Luke 2:11
