“Simply put, our SPIRIT has been awakened, starting with the first admittance of personal powerlessness.”

One of the main works of contemplation is detaching from the ego, from the self; from motivations of success, power, money or control. That will never really stop; but detachment of ego is accompanied by an attachment to the unconditional Love, Grace and Strength of our Higher Power. Today, I pray to let go; to attach to a greater Love to fulfill true purpose in my life.

Everything we have said about the Friend is true. Spread your love-robe out for the Friend is entering you. You feet, It is time to dance. And don’t mention the past. Do you understand? The beloved is here.

God, You ARE My Trustworthy Source of Good. Pray and act decisively, and then release your intentions so God can take care of you in ways that you could not take care of yourself. After you have prayed sincerely, release your prayer to God. At this point, just let go and trust. Today, I let go and let God. I release my sense of struggle; to move forward and to trust You to answer my prayers and fulfill my dreams.

Meditation for the Day There are two things that we must have if we are going to change our way of life. One is faith, the confidence in things unseen, the fundamental goodness and purpose in the universe. The other is obedience: that is, living according to our faith, living each day as we believe that God wants us to live, with gratitude, humility, honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love. Faith and obedience, these two, will give us all the strength we need to overcome sin and temptation and to live a new and more abundant life. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may have more faith and obedience. I pray that I may live a more abundant life as a result of these things.
