GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WAY...TRUST AND BELIEVE

To personally trust God's will, God's way is the epitome of living selflessly. Don't most of us pray for that?...or think we do. 

I've come to suspect that praying for trust in God is akin to praying for patience...we have all the patience there is to have, we just need to use it to realize it is already true. 

Same goes with our trusting God's will, God's way. We have all the trust there is to  have...or where do we go to get it? We go to God...in trust. Duh. 

The reality of life in this world is that we go forward or we go backward...there is no standing still. Moving forward is a spiritual act...feeling fear and moving forward anyway; moving backward is a self-determined objective...fearfully clinging to self, continuing to slide backward into the morass.

As we move forward, we move in trust whether we know it or not; moving backward is fear refusing to let go of egoic objectives.

I have come to believe that there is a benevolent power for good in our own world working always for our benefit. Trusting that we get our personal best by giving our personal best, we are moved forward with or without fear. 

The hook? Our personal power for good is counterintuitive...it comes not from our ability to think it through but from our inability to think it through. 

The higher Power is not to be figured out, It is to be trusted.

Thank you.
