When caught in a maelstrom in our own mind, we are often advised to "turn it over," or, in short, fuhgeddaboudit. If only.
There, however, is the root of our still more spiritual growth...we hear fuhgeddaboudit, and we recognize the self-determined objective that no longer works. Then. Right then. We are graced by trust that God is on the field...how will be made clear...and the door upon which I knock is opened to us.
Our awakening is the realization that the spiritual decision we must make is to turn over not our problem du jour but our will and our life. To the care of God.
That decision, honestly and truly made, transmutes frets, worries and maelstroms, i.e., fear, and we know peace. That we will feel fear again is accepted, but we are freed to love and laugh in the midst of it.
When fear calls, we get to determine again which side to choose. Comes the all-clear: Our choice has already been made...pray thank you, and be peaced.
Thank you.
