Surrender

Allow yourself to let go today.

So much grace and beauty enters our lives when we can get out of our own way and let life work out.

When, on the other hand, we try to force circumstances to be a certain way, we are unable to be present in them as they are.

Each day probably has the potential to work out if we can only let it, if we can learn to move with the natural flow rather than try to control and manipulate the events of our lives.

Like the weather, our lives have a natural rhythm. When we are in sync with that natural rhythm, things run more smoothly.

Today have faith, trust that if we allow our lives to unfold and if we stay present and alive, we will come to understand how to live.

Trust in your ability to live your life well.


God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. ~ Reinhold Niebuhr
