Language of Letting Go - Nov. 20 - Wants and Needs
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Wants and Needs
So many of us have been brainwashed to think that we can't have what we want in life. That is the belief of the martyr. It is born of deprivation and fear.
Identifying what we want and need, then writing it down, sets in motion a powerful chain of events. It indicates that we are taking responsibility for ourselves, giving God and the Universe permission to supply our wants and needs.
The belief that we deserve to have a change in character, a relationship, a new dimension to an existing relationship, a possession, a certain level of health, living, loving, or success, is a powerful force in bringing that desire to pass.
Often, when we realize that we want something, that feeling is God preparing us to receive it!
Listen. Trust. Empower the good in your life by paying attention to what you want and need. Write it down. Affirm it mentally. Pray about it. Then, let it go. Give it to God, and see what happens.
The results may be better than you think.
Today, I will pay attention to what I want and need. I will take time to write it down, and then I will let it go. I will begin to believe I deserve the best.

I love this reading today. It reminds me how much better my life is when I get out of the problem and start living in the solution...by keeping my positive energy focused and by walking in faith, even blind faith, that life is good and unfolds exactly the way it is supposed to.
Just for today I will walk in faith, with gratitude in my heart knowing that all I need will be provided.

This is a wonderful reading -
A great friend of mine emailed it to me today - She knows the path I'm on today & new how much I needed to have the reminder about the faith I have in the God of my understanding. That my God likes to hear my wants, needs and the desires of my heart - He may already know them - but He likes for us to talk about them.
Thanks so much for posting this!
