"I used to think that when I had a conflict, the only way to become peaceful again was to make a decision, to resolve the conflict. It rarely worked....Lately I've begun to realize that if I put becoming peaceful at the top of the list, if I choose to be peaceful first, before making my decision..., the decision becomes simple.... When I put peace first, I just know what to do."-Allen Watson

Why is it so hard to hand over the reigns-to trust-to believe-to have faith?  I feel very close to God and still I struggle with this.  I believe this is my mountain to overcome.  Some days, I am successful but other times not so much.  I have plenty of proof!  And as these words say-when I let go and put peace first-all works out for the very best.  Today I will put peace first and tomorrow that will be my goal too.  Day by day. Peace.

"I do not ask to walk smooth paths nor bear an easy load. I pray for strength and fortitude to climb the rock-strewn road. Give me such courage I can scale the hardest peaks alone, and transform every stumbling block into a steppingstone."-Gail Brook Burket

You are not alone.  You only have to ask.  Yes God sees you need Him and loves you so and wants to jump in.  But as all good parents know you need to let your loved ones try it on their own because that is how they learn lessons and have faith and trust.  He is waiting.  When I pray because of problems I have or my loved ones have, I do not pray for a certain outcome, I pray for strength and love so solutions will come.  Strength and love to all of you.  Peace.
