“Leaving the gym, it hit me: keep asking The Inner Source for direction and strength; detach from the external; trust the process.”

Detachment from the intellect is an inherent freedom. Elements of nature ground and heal us. To work with the elements is to be reminded of our true source; a deep connection to Spirit. Today, God, restore my connection with You through nature; that as I touch the earth, I am healed and I give healing.

Let God’s Spirit of Love & forgiveness flow. Meekness is freedom from the energy of hostility, hatred, or outbursts of anger. One does not approve of the harmful things that others do, but one accepts them as they are and is ready to help whenever possible - without trying to change them. Become content with the inability to change oneself as one would like, while continuing to do what one can to improve. Come to rely more and more upon God and less and less on one’s own efforts.

Meditation for the Day Disillusionment and doubt spoil life. The doubting ones are the disillusioned ones. When you are in doubt, you are on the fence. You are not going anywhere. Doubt poisons all action. "Well, I don't know"-so you don't do anything. Instead, meet life with a "Yes," an affirmative attitude. There is good in the world, and we can follow that good. There is power available to help us to do the right thing; therefore we will accept that power. There are miracles of change in people's lives; therefore we will accept those miracles as evidence of God's power. Prayer for the Day I pray that I will not be paralyzed by doubt. I pray that I may go along on the venture of faith.
