match calamity with serenity
"Just to the extent that I do as I think God would have me do does It enable me to match calamity with serenity".
This concept is the foundation for my life today. Am I reaching out for inspiration in this moment right now. Today I can make my day about doing what I think God would have me do with no argument. "I think God would have me read some spiritual literature this morning". I will pause and ask what to read and then read what comes to mind. " I think God would have me meditate", I will pause and ask if that is It's will for me right now and if I sense that it is I meditate. "I think God would have me shower", I will pause and ask It if that is It's will for me right now. Then when I do as I'm intuitively guided to do in this moment, I can surrender right now to the idea that this is what I think God's will is for me and I can do the next right thing in complete surrender and oppeniess with no argument. No argument internally means that I will have a quiet mind or serenity. This is a practice that I get better at over my lifetime.
"God please guide me in everything that I do today, right now. Help me to do as I think you will have me do. Thank you for quieting my mind and allowing me to be present for my life today."
