Let Go, Let God

I am free as I let go and let God.

I accept this day as a gift as I walk with God through every moment, activity, challenge, and opportunity. My affirmation is from “The Prayer of Faith”: God is my help in every need.

Remembering God in all I do, I am free from the burden of worry or fear. I let go of concern as I focus on the all-powerful, all-knowing presence that guides my way. I am free to express my innate talent, free to act from a foundation of wisdom, strength, and faith. I am free as I let go and let God.

At the close of this day, I rest peacefully, my mind unencumbered. I am immersed in divine love. Help is always here when I relax, release my personal striving, and open myself to God.

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.–Matthew 11:28

Balance

As I rest in God, I replenish my soul.

If I am hurrying and worrying about completing everything on my to-do list, slowing my pace may seem counterintuitive—yet slowing my pace calms me and brings me back to center.

I pause from all that is calling for my attention and create a holy space within. As I move more consciously and breathe more deeply, I refuel my energy and replenish my soul—I rest in God.

Just as the space between musical notes creates balance and harmony, so, too, does a moment of peace bring harmony to my soul. I rejoice in the right balance between doing and being. When I am ready to return to my tasks, I fulfill my obligations with efficiency and enthusiasm.

The Lord is good … he protects those who take refuge in him, even in a rushing flood.—Nahum 1:7

Journey - I am fulfilled on my life’s journey.

When I am at a crossroads, what do I do? Do I take the familiar path or the one less traveled?

Whichever path I choose, I make a commitment to enjoy the journey. All paths lead me to, and through, new adventures.

Even when I am not making major life decisions, I enjoy my daily path. Whether I am going to work, to church, or to school, whether I am on vacation or performing a routine task, I remind myself to enjoy all life has to offer. I look around and see the good that abounds. As I do, I experience new joys I might otherwise have missed.

With each new day, I experience fulfillment on my life’s journey.
 

I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.—Ecclesiastes 3:12

Open Mind: With an open mind, I stretch to new dimensions of awareness.

Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a mind, once stretched, never regains its original dimensions. I allow my mind to be stretched as I think of all that God is. My open mind lets in the light of God to illuminate my perceptions and beliefs. I practice spiritual discernment, as I become aware that there is more to life than meets the eye. I see God in action—in a sunrise, in the face of a child, in my life’s work, and in all my activities. I see God in me in new ways. I am more forgiving and less judgmental. I am more accepting of others. I develop greater understanding by seeing from many perspectives. With an open mind, I stretch to new dimensions of spiritual awareness.

If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.—James 1:5
