I release the need to strive or control.
Today I acknowledge a truth I have lived again and again:
I always have more than enough, and it always works out.
Even when provision comes quietly, even when movement feels slow, abundance has never failed me. I see it. I know it. I trust it.
I release the need to control what no longer requires my vigilance.
I honor that my desire to manage everything was once protection—but it no longer has to lead. I gently loosen my grip on past trauma that taught me to brace instead of receive. I am safe to soften now.
I recognize that when I follow Spirit, things align quickly and naturally.
What flows to me in alignment comes without depletion, without over-giving, without sacrifice of my body or my peace. I no longer confuse exhaustion with faithfulness.
Today I honor my body where it is.
I acknowledge the pain, the fatigue, the limits that are real—and I give myself permission to live within them without guilt. Enough does not require what I used to give. Enough meets me where I am.
As I move through this day, I choose presence over proving.
I allow myself to be more relaxed, more at peace, trusting that what is meant for me does not need to be earned through stress. As I release the need to strive, my stress softens, and my spirit rests.
I receive abundance as companionship, not conquest.
I let it flow to me—steady, faithful, and sure.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
