In recent weeks, I have been faced with a difficult life circumstance that has consumed my physical, mental and emotional energy. I envision this as a dark stumbling block in my path; and have tried with all my strength to move this dark energy to clear the path so that all can be as it was.
In the process, I have found three things to be true: 1), when I try with all my might to fix something that is beyond my control, all I do is exhaust and frustrate myself; 2), sometimes I need to ask for help from other human beings who are willing to come beside me in prayer and 3), when I have done all that I can with the help of others, I need to move aside and allow God to do the rest.
What I find when doing so is that the stumbling block becomes smaller and loses power, allowing me to rise above it and settle there for a time, still prayerfully involved, but from a new vantage point.
I allow myself to accept things as they are in this moment, to thankfully acknowledge that healing is occurring and to accept that perhaps all will never be as it was, but that this is ok.
Rising above the stumbling blocks in my life, and allowing God to do the work of moving the obstacles, is my path to freedom.
