When life is walking us down a patch of rough road, it takes all of our hard-earned discipline to remember to pray thank you. Not thank you for the rough road, not thank you for any material thing...just thank you.
To consciously welcome God's seeing our need, not our want, clears our resistance. Then we can look within, way way way deep within, to find what decision we made based on self that brought us to this rough patch.
There...we are on the Way toward finding God's perfect will and release from our bind.
The Way takes as long as it takes. Still more spiritual growth can feel wrong a lot of the time...sticking with it, we find it's not wrong, it's just new...daily...and different to our senses. The more resistant we feel, the deeper we are in self-will...clinging to our idea of spiritual probably. We need to change our mind not the teaching.
Living our spiritual growth takes practice...every day, every single day. And every day, every single day, we will be released...whether we feel it or not.
Then one fine day we find our rough patch has become sunshine and roses. Be assured, that is God giving us a hug.
Thank you.
