Prayer is an act of letting go, not a wish
Dan Pedersen
For me, it is clear that the power to change my life lies within. No longer must I depend on something in the external world to shift in order for me to live a full, joyous, happy, free life! Yes, that higher source, be it God, Universe, Soul, etc., is there, ready and willing to remind me of my strengths. But in the end, it is still up to me to take the steps, the action needed to bring about change.
My willingness to meet my demons and sit in the fire of discomfort, has proven to be incredible, offering me the opportunity to create real change. Stuff always happens, its called life. But remember, when we took human form we were also given free will – we always have a choice to be victimized by the life or to rise above and make change. When I say, ‘rise above’, I don’t mean some airy-fairy denial of what is happening–no, quite the opposite!
I mean we have the innate ability to met whatever is here. Always. And, we always (always!) have the ability to find rest within. Coming to rest with what is arising is when we open ourselves to hear the voice of the Divine. From this place surrender, the needed action reveals itself. This, my friend, is a life of authenticity, this is true Freedom!
Coming to rest allows us to hear the voice of the Divine.
This is valuable work and it’s not complicated. But it does require vigilance. Questions?
Remember, freedom is our birthright.
