The reasoning mind is God's tool. As long as we're wrestling
within the reasoning mind (worrying, nattering, regretting, obsessing, etc.), we are into God's business. He allows us there...that is our free will, His gift to us.
We must always remember, however, that while he is allowing us to roam free mentally, physically, spiritually, we are on our own...we have shut God out.
The proper use of the reasoning mind is to regift it...give it back to God. All that requires is to make a decision to turn our will and our life over to the care of God...that's it.
The rest of our life is the carrying out of that decision. All of our zigs and zags, stumbles and falls, trips of the foot and the mind are going in the right direction...we're bringing it back to God.
It is when we get stuck in shame and blame for our trips of foot and mind that we've landed back in the ego-driven reasoning mind, and we already know there is no God there. Here again, we say our "Thank You" for the reminder which is as painful as it needs to be; we recall our decision, and we move on up.
Thank You.
