One of the most powerfully beneficial actions I have ever taken has been the starting of a "Trust Journal"; a totally divinely motivated action that has revolutionized my relationship with God...and has ushered me into such peace.
About seven years ago, when I first set foot in recovery rooms (Overeater's Anonymous), I found that I was agnostic...that I had a concept of God in my head, but didn't have a relationship in heart with God. I felt the presence of God, but did not allow God to be God...I controlled my life out of lack of trust that God could or would care for me; protect and provide for me.
One day, intuitive thought inspired me to start a "Trust Journal"...a place where I chronicled a story of God's love and protection and provision over the span of my life to that point. Starting with childhood, I recalled miracles that had LITERALLY saved my life...happenings for which I could not take credit. When I realized that there had been a Power greater than myself working on my behalf throughout my life, I was then willing to surrender...to get off the throne of my life, situation by situation feeling anxiety, beckoning courage as I sat in a front row seat to God's vast benefits and miracles and wisdoms that have set me free from soooo much.
There have been many, many more occurrences and God inspired actions taken that have placed me in the cozy comfort of peace....a place where I am wrapped in the loving, protective arms of God...in a high place where I see a sea of irrational anxieties that I allowed to suck the life out of my life. I no longer feel the need to swim in or to be overtaken by the waves of mental malady of anxiety....I'm trusting God and experiencing freedom on many levels, one day at a time.
How has your God, your Higher Power been there for you throughout your life? How do you need God today? Are you willing to surrender your way of doing and ask God for help...then follow intuitive thought guidance of God?
