My life is a miracle.
I can see it everyday.
The phrase on my heart lately has been, “Wish without worrying.” It comes from the book, The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. On the real, I’ve prayed that God would give me a faith like hers.
This woman’s books transformed minds and lives and people called her a miracle worker. She would travel and hold workshops teaching people how to use affirmations to change their lives. Now that I’ve studied the law of attraction I can see that her teachings line up directly with this law, except she has a more biblical base to her teachings. She calls Jesus Christ, the greatest of all metaphysicians because he used his words to heal, bless and change lives.
As he spoke it, so it was.
That is what she teaches. Our words are important but now that I have learned more I understand that the emotions behind our words are even more powerful. Our thoughts become words, our words are an indication of our emotions and our emotions dictate our perception of our reality, which directly affects our experiences.
Look at how Jesus lived. At one point he was barely a teenager sharing his wisdom with elders. What gave him the authority to teach? His faith that he was a knowledgeable teacher and he had an important message to share. What if he had doubted his ability?
What gave him the authority to heal and bless others? It was the fact that he KNEW that he was the son of God and as a child of the Creator, he was entitled to all of the giftings of his father. What if he had no idea who he was in relation to our Creator?
Why don’t we all walk in this same power? Simply because we don’t recognize our birthright. We are ALL sons and daughters of God. We are all blessed with the same abilities to speak what we want into existence. But as children we weren’t taught that. We were taught that the world has power over us and we have to conform to its wims and play the victim to our circumstances.
As I study and practice the theories behind the law of attraction I have noticed a pattern in my circumstances. Those things that I wish for without worrying about them, manifest quickly whle those things I am doubtful about or anxious about take longer to happen.
As soon as I have a desire for something, the request for it is already made and sent up to the heavens above. Since the Bible teaches”ask and it is given” that means that what I want is on its way.
I block the delivery of my desire by becoming fearful that I will have it. It’s my lack of trust that keeps what I want away from me.
Recently I have been working on a big project that does not solely involve my own efforts. I was so anxious about it as I sought help from others, wondering if they would help me. Nothing materialized. So last night I said to myself, “You know what? If God wants me to have this, then it will happen, but if not, oh well. Something better will come along.”
I really meant it too.
I let go of my desire and focused on other things in my life, spending time fantasizing about my glorious future. This morning when I woke up and checked my email, every single person that I needed to help me had responded, confirming that they would be able to support me in the way that I needed. I almost started crying, with my emotional self. I just stood up and looked at the ceiling and thanked God.
Can you define a desire for something in your life and then relax knowing that it is on the way? Even better, can you define a desire for something in your life and then have peace knowing that if it never comes, your life will still be okay?
I think that was the most powerful lesson I learned during my studies.
We want so much to happen in our lives and we figure that if this thing happened, we’d be happier and more fulfilled. So we worry ourselves to death about it and are ungrateful for our present situation.
I’ve learned that life is not really about attaining our goals; it’s about the journey. If we have enough faith to believe that we will reach that desired end, if we know it’s promised to us, then we’d have more joy during the process of getting there.
We wouldn’t freak out during those times when we are faced with change and uncertainty. the uncertainty brings with a promise of new direction. The direction is ALWAYS pointed toward where you really want to be.
You lost your job? YAY! This signals a new level in your life, you are one step closer to where you really want to be.
Your girlfriend cheats on you and leaves you? Yay! This happened because your TRUE life companion is around the corner and you needed to be available in order to meet her.
Every single thing that happens in your life, happens because it pushes you toward your greater destiny. How could you be sad about that?
If you have a desire that is on your heart, trust that it will come to pass. Really KNOW that whatever you want to happen, will. In the meantime, between your asking and your receiving, you can experience the joy of having it simply because you already KNOW that it is coming.
When I asked myself, “Could I be happy if everything I asked for, never happened?” My reply was Yes.
Why?
Because I realize that my circumstances don’t dictate my happiness. It’s my choice to be happy where I am. It’s my choice to be grateful for the journey to where I want to be.
When I wish without worrying, I always receive what I ask for.
Ask you Father for what you want and trust that He will deliver everything you ever wanted and more. He honors your faith. He delights in your trust.
Your Creator is not like your earthly father. Don’t compare the two, God will never dissappoint you. I believe He delights in pleasing you more than you will ever know. When you doubt His ability to move you from glory to glory, you block the flow of blessings that are promised to you.
Wish without worrying and see everything you wish for delivered.
That’s a promise.
