How can I let go of the sense of effort?
By letting go of the belief that you are apart from God.
By letting go of the belief that you can act alone.

I sit here wanting to let go of my sense of effort, which is lifelong and strong. I imagine that you are the same. Often when I want to learn something, I write about it. This is one of those cases.

If I know that I am a child of God, then I can let go and Him handle all of my problems.

Today I can let go of waiting for an arborist to call me back about my Japanese maple. I am also waiting for a charity to pick up the donations I have set out for them.

Don’t worry; it will just happen of its own accord.

I can also let go of wanting to be fearless.

If I know that I am a child of God, then I can be fearless in my devotion to God.

This is a very trite subject with a very trite message: Let Go and Let God.

But I can’t let go, so I am always forcing things that don’t want to be forced. I am exerting my will over theirs and that leads to isolation. Help!

If I truly want God’s help, I must step back and see what happens when I let go.

Can I relax and reflect? Sometimes. Usually when I am writing, for writing is how I serve truth.

Laughter helps.

You can if you relax and merge with God so that He can act through you. (Difficult assignment)

My friend T. told me that if I want to die by submerging the little me into the Big Me, I can’t think I have any free will anymore. And my brain is programmed to think that I have free will when I don’t.

P.S.
The arborist never returned my 2 calls. No one picked up my donation boxes. I survived….
