This step has been very very hard for me. It is difficult to let go of the ruminating and pondering over what could, should, will, has, and is happening and my exact place in all of it. It is difficult to let go of the paralysis and fear over WHAT WILL GO WRONG if I do x or y.

Yeah, it is difficult to let go of self and the conviction that the self is everything and sits at the center of all things that go wrong.

I worked on developing a picture of God as I understood Him.
As Cats' said, it helps to start making a picture of a HP as we understand. The God of my childhood 'had it in for me' and was always looking for an excuse to punish. My current HP is big, kind and has the whole world in his/her/their hand. To this I pray and look for love and direction. My own mind is far too dark and noisy for reliable direction.
