OUR THANK YOU FULFILLS OUR NEED

Blinding flash of the obvious: Waste no effort on 'how to'...with our silent 'thank you,' the need is fulfilled.

My BFO made me realize again the importance of not specifying our thank you. To specify that for which we are thankful is just another ask masquerading as prayer. Recently, it seems that a lot of just passing thoughts turn up shortly thereafter as a blessing. I say thank you.

We leave the need to God in trust...our want may be a periphery of God's need for us to be met as an add-on. We look below every "met" want...God's gold is ever deeper.

Example: Thank you for keeping me out of this afternoon's meeting which is bound to be a brouhaha. God's will may be for me to be his voice in that meeting. We can go to the meeting peaced by our thank you, the assurance that God's will, God's way is ever flowing for our benefit, with or without our knowledge.

To ponder: It may be that is raised consciousness...everything we need is available to us just by our thought for it, and only God knows how it needs to come to us, ergo, necessary suffering.

He goes before us to make the crooked places straight.

Thank you.
