A Way

God is my help in every need.

In "The Prayer of Faith," Hannah More Kohaus begins: "God is my help in every need. God does my every hunger feed. God walks beside me, guides my way, through every moment of the day."

With God, there is always a way to meet life's challenges, to rise above what appear to be limiting circumstances. There is always a way to restore wholeness and peace of mind, to experience joy and to grow in spiritual understanding. God is the loving, all- providing presence within me, the unwavering principle of truth and love.

God brings forth the good in any situation. I turn within to God in prayer with faith and expectancy, knowing there is a way through any shadow into the light. "God, I am listening. God, I will abide in you. You are my help in every need."

"For nothing will be impossible with God."--Luke 1:37

"Our good nature and endearing qualities will not arouse the answers to our prayers. Rather, it is our mischievous, dishonest attributes that provide the master keys to heaven. When we identify and work to transform our self-centered qualities and crooked characteristics, the key turns and the gates unlock. Blessings and good fortune are now free to rain down upon us."

~Yehuda Berg

Today's Affirmation

I am not afraid to look at my self honestly.

Today's Meditation

Dear God,

Thank You for the courage to take an honest look at myself.

I know that the journey to wholeness is one of rigorous self-honesty.

If I uncover attitudes or patterns of behavior that do not serve me,

I ask for a miracle and allow You to transform any apparent weakness.

I am gentle with myself because I realize that I am a pilgrim on this journey home.

Rather that get caught up in punishing myself, I surrender any defects to You.

I place all that I am, strengths and weaknesses, into Your loving hands.

May my life radiate with Your light.

And so it is.

Amen
