Here is the deepest lesson of gratitude, then. We are to be grateful not just in the good times, but also in the bad times; to be grateful not just in plenty, but also in need; to maintain thankfulness not just in laughter, but also through tears and sorrow....You may lose a loved one, or facet after facet of your physical [or mental] health, but you can still be grateful for what you have left. -- Brian McLaren, Richard Rohr Daily Meditations, November 25, 2025
In these dark and dangerous times appearing today, we must needs rely on the God of our own understanding...by doubling down on letting go of our resistance to these times. We double down on letting go by love...love alone resists not evil, according to me.
We remember that God can and will if sought...then we recall God can and will whether sought or not. God does not need our permission...it is our open and inviting heart, mind and soul that ease our way.
The more we think on that, the more we ponder but how?, and the harder we cling to our wants, or self-determined will and way. Loose it and let it go...which is Thy will, not mine, be done...applies if and as we use it.
Here again, our answer: If the only prayer you ever pray in your lifetime is thank You, that would suffice. -- Meister Eckhart
Thank you.
