December 24th – Higher Powered
“We can stop and ask God for guidance. Our Higher Power’s guidance will let us use our great human faculty, our intuition. We can live life with some wisdom and a great deal of wit. We gain more trust in God, ourselves, and other human beings.”
– Life with Hope, first edition, page 53
After choosing to embrace and believe in a Higher Power, I no longer need to live in doubt and fear. Instead, I am able to live in a space where my intuition, through God’s guidance, will ultimately lead to the next indicated right step of action. By no longer relying on my own self-will, my Higher Power’s will for me can make every situation acceptable, knowing my Higher Power is in control. I can live with my faith that everything happens for a reason under God’s eyes; thus, I can trust the process of life, including myself, and those around me.
Final thought: Today, I am able to act according to any situation, because I have the moral guidance from my Higher Power.
