November
If you are truly calm, you stand a chance of surviving much, but calmness is intermittent with me.
~ Florida Scott-Maxwell
The calm we feel is proportionate to the faith we have in a Higher Power. Some days are calmer than others. Why does our faith waver?
We too easily dispense with the daily routines that can help us be at peace: spending a few moments alone, reading some words of wisdom, praying to our Higher Power for care and guidance. We have probably heard someone say, “If you feel far away from God, it’s not because God moved.” Is it our habit to rely on God for every solution? Do we believe that every experience can benefit us as long as we acknowledge God in it? Do we make it a practice to include God in every decision we make or action we take? When we can answer yes to all of these questions, we’ll discover that our faith no longer wavers. We’ll know that God is close and calm is upon us.
I am calm in the company of my Higher Power. Today will run smoothly.
