Language of Letting Go - March 13

You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go

Clarity and direction

In spite of our best efforts to work our programs and lean on God's guidance, we sometimes don't understand what's going on in our life. We trust, wait, pray, listen to people, listen to ourselves, and the answer still does not come.

During those times, we need to understand that we are right where we need to be, even though that place may feel awkward and uncomfortable. Our life does have purpose and direction.

We are being changed, healed, and transformed at levels deeper than we can imagine. Good things, beyond our capacity to imagine, are being prepared and brought to us. We are being led and guided.

We can become peaceful. We do not have to act in haste or urgency just to relieve our discomfort, just to get an answer. We can wait until our mind is peaceful. We can wait for clear direction. Clarity will come.

The answer will come, and it will be good for us and those around us.

Today, God, help me know I am being guided into what's good about life, especially when I feel confused and without direction. Help me trust enough to wait until my mind and vision are clear and consistent. Help me know that clarity will come.

Isn't this so true. At least it is for me right now. Letting go at a time when an " answer" is so important to me, is very hard. I want to understand.
I'm not very good at trusting and waiting, I tend to get my hands and mind in it.
Just for today. I will try to keep my focus on this and let go of this problem and trust God will take it over.
Praying for that peace for all of us today,
Cathy
