Victory is mine today....my place of peace is a sign of successful relating to God...of trust in God vs trust in my limited abilities when I roll alone in self-will.
A friend shared the ACA (Adult Children of Alchoholics) concept of "spiritual bypass"...which describes the place one can go...patiently and assuredly trusting God's "way out" of what ever challenge presents itself; feeling anxiety, experiencing emotional pain without acting out or numbing self with lots of activity or food, or any other distraction that hinders healing that comes from "facing everything and recovering"...being open to the "next healthy action" to take...even if it is to "be still and KNOW" that God is working on one's behalf is what works; taking a look at obsessive worry thoughts/thoughts that evoke feelings of anxiety and asking Gods help with healthy actions to take and then diving in...
I trusted God and he lead me to a God loving mechanic who practices integrity and the love of God in his automotive ministry to repair my car most economically; I trusted God and he lead me to get up and go to church though all inside of me wanted to isolate and stay in bed...I went and it was as if God sang sweet songs of comfort and peace and love to my soul though the words of my Pastor reminding me to trust...so today, I am surrendered and trusting God to work out the details to work out the outcome as I take his suggestive steps...one day at a time...all is well...that's victory!!
What victory have you experienced: great or small? A step forward in thought or action is success!!
