IF WE’RE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, GOD ALLOWS “U-TURNS”. ACTUALLY, HE’LL EVEN STOP TRAFFIC TO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN.
October 13 from ?Totally Within ©"
“Heading the wrong direction” can apply to anything from living a totally destructive life-style to enjoying some actions that limit our potential or cause subtle harm; neither allows us to live our best life. We may have to repeatedly suffer before we are ready to give up what is hurting us and try something different.
This act of surrendering and becoming willing sets in motion a response from God (the universe, spiritual forces) that opens doors and provides opportunities to accomplish that change.
Suddenly, we meet that right person who shares a perspective that guides us in our new direction; we hear a song that sings the exact words we need to hear at exactly the right time; we see or hear a phrase repeated that has a special meaning, that guides us into new ideas or actions. We get news of unexpected surprises that offer solutions to some of our problems; something happens, we experience a slight change in circumstances or in our attitude that lets us see solutions to previously unresolved challenges.
As we pray or merely deeply breathe in gratitude of our new direction, we feel an overwhelming sense of peace, security, and love that reassures us that we are on the right path.
God responds to our desire to change direction anytime.
Prayer: My loving creator parent and indwelling spirit, help me release anything in my life that separates me from you, that prevents me from doing your will and enjoying the best life I can live.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; pause for a few minutes in silence.
