We know you have utter faith in us to call us into service during this time just for the fact that we’re even here experiencing it right now. Some of us may be feeling apprehensive about what the future my bring. Father although there may be challenges ahead, we know you would not give us more than we can handle. We know that you would not seek to destroy us, only to strengthen us as your light clears the darkness. 1John clearly states that “God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
Stepping forward, we know that love begets love. That when we are in love, there is no fear. Therefore as we take these first steps into a better future, we will use your love as the map, with your light guiding the way. This all makes the second step easier, because if we can look at what is happening now with the innocence of a child, in childish wonderment, we may be able to see how you are creating actual miracles around us. We can love and accept who we are right now, and realize that you love us just as we are, and we can step through this doorway into a place of being that love because “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.” (1John)
We ask for the blessings of this day, Father, for our teammates and all loved ones. We ask that you lift us all up and hold us safe in your arms knowing how loved we are. Our world is changing, and being crafted according to your plan, by your map Father, and we know you have only the best intentions for us to be challenged in new ways that bring us joy, so that we can be as creative as our imaginations can dream. We know this, Father, because “His love endures forever.” (Psalm 136)
We know we can put any fear of the unknown into your hands, Father, because we are sure of your enduring love for us, as your children,
We greet this day full of promise, gladfully in service. Just as spring gives us buds on trees containing the potential of a floral explosion of beauty and fragrance, we believe in the promise of better tomorrows therefore we choose to live a brighter today. We realize that when we connect our heart with our thinking, our choices are clear and our footsteps flow. So as we make our way forward together, rededicating ourselves in service to you and to eachother, we ask for your blessing for our hands, our hearts, our thinking, our words and our actions. May they always be in harmony with your will and expand your love for our weary world.
As we come into balance with your mission for us, “I will hear what the Lord God has to say, a voice that speaks of peace, peace for his people and his friends and those who turn to him in their hearts. His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land.”(Psalm 85) May that peace spill forth from each of us, born out of respect and nurtured with the enduring pledge of a brightening world.
Bless us this day Father, all of our team members as well as all loved ones. May we all experience miracles today that yield joy out of sadness. May all of our good works be magnified a thousand fold so that they bear fruit for a world starving for hope and happiness. Because we know, Father, that you only want good for us, that you don’t want to see your children in pain and that if we choose, you will lift us up out of muddy waters and onto clean shores. We only need to give you our word, let go and allow, as we are told, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.” (Psalm 37)
One of the lessons from my garden from many years ago was to see us as God sees us. I was turning over my garden, and breaking up the soil with my hands. I was just open to whatever I was to learn that day. I remember a picture developing in my head. It started off as three flowers, each of a daisy style and each flower still with the yellow center, however the petals were colored differently. My mind began to ponder things but I stayed with it as I worked. Then more flowers appeared, each was a little different in type and size and shape and color. They all began to fashion themselves into a bouquet. I looked at it. It occurred to me how beautiful it was in complexity because each one was a completely unique expression of itself, but there was a symmetry and resonance that carried a message of unity due to each’s contribution to the whole picture.
I then just knew that this is how God sees us. Each expressing our own uniqueness, but still connected as a whole.
While sitting outside this morning drinking my coffee I had a vision of a cloud coming in and bringing packets of information, envelopes opening spilling out information. They first show me a woman’s hands and how there is incredible healing power in those hands in everything she does. By contrast, or complement should I say, they showed me a man’s hands that build and tear down, protect and coax. As I sipped my coffee in the early dawn, listening to the cloud, I kid you not, a dense fog began to descend all around and stayed there for the entire 2 hours that I received and contemplated what I am about to discuss. Absolutely magical, but I’ll let this morning’s pictures tell the story of the fog.
The new awareness coming to the human psyche. It will address addiction in a very surprising way. We will go through experiential change permeating us that will make us feel like we are expanding up and outward like the top of a mushroom. It will take our attention completely off the habits we’ve created and we will be presented with a choice whether to overwrite the need in the brain for any addiction, or to hold onto the addiction (no judgment from me on this<3.) To move forward, just approve the change, say you welcome it, and it will just happen (you can do it right now if you like.)
Humanity is breaking the addiction to needing to watch the old paradigm play out, as if it was a movie whose ending wraps up all the lose ends into a tidy bow. We are taking the reins into our own hands and are now ready to push the shift into the new. The old ways that had been programmed into what life had become had starved us. Products targeted our taste buds with less and less actual nutrients, that kept us on a superficial sensory level devoid of the deep sustaining nourishment that real food affords. Makes me wonder if the story of the loaves and the fishes was really about feeding the spirit. When I say spirit, I’m referring to the part of us that is driving our body. It has been gradually starved from choices being whittled down and funneled into socially acceptable directions that have less and less opportunity to pursue our passions and happiness. Experiences that reach deep inside and feed us. We have been in perpetual survival mode for so long that our addictions sprang up out of the long gradual starvation of our spirit.
When you are creating, ask yourself how your creation will feed the spirit. If you design buildings, look into how the building can generate a positive life supporting energy. As a matter of fact, everything in our environment can feed us on deeper levels, and can aid the restoration of us back to what we really are… gifted beings with the spark of God inside that can affect our reality in surprising ways.
So, to resolve this, have a heart to heart talk with yourself and ask: What do you really want in life? What makes you feel alive? Be honest and get clear on it. Don’t pay any attention to the thoughts that say you can’t do it because______ (fill in blank.) Be prepared to drop every distraction and superfluous thing that you picked up to fill the voids. Just drop them. Now… create what will bring in that thing that really feeds your spirit. Speaking in metaphor, plant a garden that will continually feed your life force energy. By now, wheels should be turning and ideas flinging off.
We’ve been trying to run a marathon subsisting on junk food. No wonder we are so tired. The new point of being here is to learn through expansion of human creativity fueled by our greatest joy and the experiences we can dream up. Ask yourself what will assist you to climb the stairs of vibrational frequency in the coming days, weeks and months. Your answer is the first thing to start creating for yourself, your family, your community and the world.
