Living a spiritual life means living a life aware of infinite paradoxes. We give up all power to regain all power. Meaning that if we give up every idea that we can control worldly things, we will be opening our selves to allow Spirit to move through us. When we put down any notion that we can control people, places, things, time, anything at all, we are free in a way that allows the higher power that I call God to fill us. God is very polite. God will not hammer us with tasks, responsibilities or even insights. But if we can get out of our own way by daring to say, “I don’t know,” and, “It’s up to you,” and, “I can just let things be,” and, “It is what it is,” we’ll be out from under an awful lot. Then, if we say yes to our Best Selves, all things will be well. This is not about being steamrolled by life. Oh, no, no! When we are in the God-energy, miracles happen and we become deeply, quietly, amazingly strong no matter what comes along. Amen. May thy will, not mine, be done.
