Courage to Change
 
Courage to Change – February 17

My vision can be so limited. I often think that the only possible outcomes are those that I can imagine. Fortunately, my Higher Power is not restricted by such logic. In fact, some of the most wondrous events grow out of what appear to be disasters.

But faith takes practice. Fears can loom large, and I can get lost in my limited thinking. When I can’t see any way out and I doubt that even a Higher Power can help me, that’s when I most need to pray. When I do, my actions demonstrate my willingness to be helped. And time after time, the help I need is given to me.

Today I know that even when my situation looks bleak and I can’t see any way out, miracles can happen if I turn my will and my life over to God.

TODAY’S REMINDER
I have an important part to play in my relationship with my Higher Power – I have to be willing to receive help, and I have to ask for it. If I develop the habit of turning to my Higher Power for help with small, everyday matters, I’ll know what to do when faced with more difficult challenges.

So grateful to know that the God of my understanding is not limited by my thought process - by my limited problem solving - by my doubt.

All I have to do is be willing to be willing to be open to the possibility that my HP can do something different. It may not always happen the way I think it should or the way I want it to - but it will happen the way my HP has it planned for me.

By standing close to His guidance, strength, courage and wisdom - I know I'll be ok - even better than OK.

Peace to all,
Rita
