We do need to believe in God to trust God...to trust that he has our back, to trust that he can and will intervene in our life in our behalf. Without that trust, there is no peace.
Without trust in God, peace of mind is a wish with no hope in it...unattainable in a word. That is living in our reasoning mind, making it up as we go...living on the edge of anxiety, denying ourself the peace we seek.
This is a fact we learn...then relearn a time or two, to quote my beloved Chet.
In truth, God's will is simple...not easy, simple. Ah, the reasoning mind's impossible dream...thinking, pondering, analyzing...trying for simple. It cannot be explained...there is no planned quick, fast and in a hurry...there is only unplanned quick, fast and in a hurry.
Going for peace of mind...talk about a headache...is to continue self-determining our way. I'm convinced peace of mind lives in our rearview mirror...there where grace shines her light for us to see by...and accept.
The message, of course, is exactly what it has ever been: Let go and let God. To which our reasoning mind wails...how? That is how...let go and let God.
Thank you.
