Many times, you go through life carrying the struggles of the past and the fears of the future. You may be overwhelmed with anxiety. You spend days and nights trying to control things, events, and people to prevent obstacles, and you still cannot seem to find peace in your heart and mind. What if the secret to peace was letting go of your troubles by giving up your leadership of these situations to your Creator, who knows more than you do. Then instead of worrying about what direction you should go, you could actually embrace the wonder of the present moment while you listen for your directions. If you did this, then when obstacles knocks at your door, you would say with peace to your Creator – “Thank you for taking care of this one for me, and I will follow your lead.” The peace of this comes from the faith that it is being taken care of, the patience to listen, and the love in knowing that you are not alone with your obstacles.
