“I will surrender to my greatest highest good. I will release any fear that blocks my way. For every step I take is taken in pure faith. And I am stronger every moment, every day.” Karen Drucker, Morning Prayer
This is a perfect chant to start the morning. I hope you take a moment to listen, by clicking on the link provided above.
Sometimes we surrender to fear or doubt, to the opinions of others or our own internal dialogue of ‘not enough’ and to resistance and needing to have it our own way. Surrendering is not about giving up or giving in…it simply means to be open to…and we have a choice about what we are open to. The idea of surrendering to my greatest highest good helps me to be at ease in the day that is before me. I feel more hopeful.
Faith is one of those ideas that can seem hard to get hold of. I’ve decided this about faith. Faith rests in a conscious decision to discount the physical in favor of the spiritual…to discount limitation in favor of possibility…to abide in calm and serenity in the midst of the storm. Stepping in faith may look crazy to the world. But faith is not about what we can see, it’s about a power that is invisible. I don’t intend to prove there is a greater power in the universe, I intend to live by it. That’s my choice, and it’s a choice you can make, or not.
Life is a mystery. So many unanswered why’s and how’s and wherefores. Instead of trying to figure it out, I’m going to practice surrendering to my highest good and taking each step in faith. It takes a little courage and some practice….but I feel stronger already.
All is well.
