Let it be = Sit. That's 3rd person sing present subjunctive of esse - to be.
The word 'Stet' is used in the same way - it actually means 'Let it stand'.
'Fiat' is the opposite of 'Sit' or 'Stet'. It means 'Let it be done' - some action must be taken, so you don't 'Let it be' or 'Let it stand'

Sorry, but whatever translation you would use ("sit" - may it be, "fiat" - so be it, may it happen), it never will have the same connotations as the good old English expression. Why don't you just use that?

"Fiat" means "Let it be" or "Let it be done" in Latin. You can easily verify it on the internet too.

Let it be. The ultimate "everyone think like me and we'll have peace"

Amen means "So be it.", not let it be.
