'Let go and let God'..... The Invincible Guide

Isaiah Ch41 V13... For I the Lord your God, Hold your right Hand
It is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you"

From Psalms 23, The Lord is my shepherd, 'lo though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me'.
God is wherever you are, always guiding you, He forever guides you to
each of your conceptions, for He answers in physical reality 
that which you conceive and accept in your mind. If you conceive
and accept good, you will be guided along the most perfect path
to it's attainment, no matter how winding the route may seem
to your limited knowledge.

Thus, 'Let go and let God' means to trust God, to trust in the perfect
knowledge of the subconscious mind, to know whatever paths
you travel towards your goals, they are the right paths, the perfect
ones. For you have been set upon them by the omnipotent mind
of God, which makes no mistakes and will deliver you safely and
prepared at your destination. 'Let go and let God' means
to recognize that you do nothing but observe and accept, and
whatever you accept is delivered to you by the subconscious mind.
There is no personal responsibility for anything but thought, for accepted
thoughts become manifest in the physical world.

Overcoming vanity and relaxing into mental attitudes of trust and
confidence have often been expressed in the saying
'Let go and let God'.
Only God knows the way a thing may be done, and man never will.

You can be rest assured that really great and outstanding people of our
world have a constant partner, God, and this partner  is consulted on
all matters. and is acknowledged to be the doer of all their
deeds. They like Jesus, attune themselves  to all the power of creation
when they acknowledge, "It is not I who doeth the works,
but the Father who dwelleth within me"

Cast aside your vanity, you do nothing by yourself, you are never alone.
All things are done by God, which is always right where you are. You are
 not isolated from the world, you are a part of it, and at the same time
the whole of it. The world is your friend if you are friendly with yourself.
If you make the world your enemy, you fight only yourself.
Be humble in the fact of accomplishment, for you do nothing but
conceive and accept it. God does everything. He writes all
the books, paints all the pictures, builds all the bridges. 
His instruments are these who attune themselves to His
presence and allow the power to flow through.

Cast aside your guilt. Who does not make mistakes? Do not feel
guilty for mistakes in thought and subsequently in deed, for it is
this path man must travel to become one with God.
Guilt has no place in life, mistakes are for learning. Guilt holds on
to mistakes and makes them happen again. Guilt isolates you from
God. Guilt brings about vanity, the vanity of being alone, without God.
Vanity and guilt are the destroyers of attunement, errors of growing
self-consciousness, creators of illusion and evil.

Feel your unity with all things, and all life, and you will see
vanity slip away. Know only the eternal now of the subconscious
mind, no past, no future, only a present that is always existing, and you
will feel guilt dissolve. God is in you, has done what you have done,
and God does not chastise Himself, nor destroy Himself.

Listen to the words of Emerson: "On this altar God has built,
I lay my vanity and my guilt" So, don't batter and rail against
unwanted circumstances, rather, 'Let go and let God'.
Denying the power that guides you will leave you with insurmountable
problems. Turn your problems over to God.

'Let go and let God'

May God bless you all.
