Upon Faith alone depends the answer to your prayers. It is your only requisite for the accomplishment of mighty deeds. -- God Calling, January 18
Pray in faith believing that God's will is the only thing that can come to us. Back in the day when I traveled across country fairly frequently, I dreaded the possibility of long delays sitting on the tarmac.
My great lesson, that took its own sweet time revealing itself, was that (symbolically) long delays sitting on the tarmac may be God's will for me.
I finally got it: If it truly be God's will, it will be for our benefit...not for saving face, not for peace of mind, but for saving Soul...from whence peace of mind follows.
One of our first lessons is to realize that we learn our lessons by making our mistakes, but especially not to cause "worst case" to happen and then call it God's will. That's just a "controlled experiment," meaning ego is in control and legislating for itself...we wind up as humiliated as we feared, feeling short-sheeted by God. I speak from experience.
The result of God's will is always beneficial, and we know it by our feeling of love for self and for others and for the situation we feared. Even when it costs us our pride and/or our money. Ah, there it is, our steepest climb...our sense of self and of security on the line...and we go for it anyway.
Came to believe that God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf. -- Anonymous
Thank you.
