Let it be so is what "Amen" means at the end of a prayer. So you are asking God to let your prayers be and come about the way you prayed them. Let also means that you will not fight to change any outcome, since God is in control, but Let, or Allow, whatever it is to happen.

You know that's the english translation of some Hebrew or Greek, right? Ultimately it's still passive (not active) - whoever is speaking isn't saying "I shall make it so" or commanding "Make it so", it sounds like he means "I'll do it, you just don't mess with it".

It is actually a bad translation. A better translation would be "Be so". At least that's what most people fluent in Hebrew say.

It has three letters and is capitalized and suggests that "it being so" is up to somone else and that by asking you may convince that someone to LET.

Are you talking about Visual Basic (The computer language)?
Well it's not very important:
Let A=5
Is the same as:
A=5
But if you mean something else, then, I don't know....

It is an action word. Very powerful for GOD to say this.
