I pray that I may welcome difficulties. - "God Calling," January 8
To my mind that is the perfect answered prayer.
If we are doing life right... as in seeking God's will rather than our own...we will for sure meet difficulties. We will meet difficulties and then some, a lot of which qualify in our mind as Our Cross To Bear. And who's kidding whom, it is in our own mind where all our difficulties begin.
Another elusive spiritual lesson we're learning is that welcoming dispels worries...fear in a word. Shoots fear in the back of the head as it were for it is welcoming that dissolves resistance. Resistance is just fear cloaked in feelings of hopeless and helpless and what-to-do-what-do-do.
Considering how hard we work (or beg God) for peace of mind, it is laughable that we work just a tish harder to hold close worry, fret and fear. Those, too, we need welcome for they are the ego's favorite God blockers.
We've learned (repeatedly) that there are only two things with us 24/7...God and ego. God has all power...ego has no power except that which we choose to give it.
Choose you this day whom ye will serve. -- Joshua 24:15
Thank you.
