40 Days of Letting Go and Letting God
40 Days of Lent – Rebirth and Renewal
Rule 13
“Try not to resist the changes, which come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”*

Today, we are releasing anxiety and embracing God’s Love for us.
Our Lent Booklet Invites us today to release and let go of anxiety.
Anxiety is a feeling of fear, often caused by uncertainty, sometimes triggered by a traumatic moment in our lives, by fearful thoughts, or by those emotions we do not want to face or feel.
By acknowledging anxiety and the emotions tied to it, you give yourself the space to fully experience it, allowing it to pass through you instead of becoming trapped within.
Although the process may feel uncomfortable at first, as you practice it and focus on your breathing, you’ll notice a profound sense of calm, like the rhythm of the waves of the sea. You will free yourself, and peace will return to you as you remember that God is with you in every moment and in every experience of your life. —Rev. Claudia Olmos
We can choose to embrace ourselves by saying: “I allow myself to trust in God and feel peace.”
Rule No13 invites us today to summon courage and dare to walk with change. It is time to release our expectations how our life should unfold and allow Life carry us along.
Daily contemplative task: Today, I invite you to contemplate on the rule and the quote below. I would like to invite you to do the exercise detailed above. I would also like to ask you to look at where you resist life and try to control it. In your daily meditation, allow yourself the mystery of the journey so you can be surprised, amazed and astounded! 🙂
Please share your journey and experiences with me. Thank you.
Today we affirm: Today, I release anxiety.
Daily quotes:
I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9
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!
