40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God
Introduction to 40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal
Rule 1
“How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame swelled inside us. If we see God as full of Love and compassion, so are we.“*

ASH WEDNESDAY
Today, we are releasing stress and embracing God’s Love for us.
Our Lent Booklet Invites us today – on Ash Wednesday – to release and let go of stress.
“Unfortunately, stress can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. When we begin to feel stressed, it’s always best to return to our spiritual principles. when challenges arise, rather than useless worrying we should look beyond them to God. When we think about God/our higher power/Spirit manifesting as perfect health and wholeness, joy and happiness, love and harmony, we give energy to that which we desire and take energy away from the problem. We shift our attention from stressing to letting God express in and through us as good.” Rev. Saba Mchunguzi
We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I trust my Divine essence that is of God.
Rule No1 invites us to look at our relationship with God or the Divine Being, Supreme Being, The Universe (use the name that works for you best). How do I see God? What do I think about God? Is he a punishing guy in the Heavens who judges my ever action? Or is It a gentle breeze constantly brushing my entire being with Loving Kindness? As I answer the questions, I understand where I stand with myself. By noticing how I see God, I can learn where I need to change so to create a more Loving relationship with myself.
Today, I invite you to contemplate on the Rule No1 and the quote below. Let me know how practicing releasing stress worked for you.
You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you. – Dan Millman
Today we affirm: Today, I release stress.
Note : *My writing is based on the book “40 Rules of Love” by by Elif Shafak and The Lent booklet by Unity.org
Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’, understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us.
I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between
the 5th of March to the 21 April 2025,
I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Rebirth and Renewal – Lent 2025′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).
Let’s walk this journey together!
