"Exactly, a year ago today, I bought my nice condo here in Naples to be on my own.  This has been an exciting year, to say the least, and in two days, Monday, September 23, 2013, I will close on the beautiful and much larger new home that God has for me now.  It is GOOD to be led of Holy Spirit."

SURRENDER

Surrendering to Spirit, I experience deep peace and well-being.

At times life flows smoothly, and at other times, it may seem like a battle. If I find myself in opposition with those around me or in conflict with myself, I cease the struggle now. I turn the matter—and, indeed, my life—over to the living Spirit of Truth within me.

I begin in quiet contemplation, laying down the defensive armor of strongly held convictions and any weapons of judgment or criticism. This is a conscious act of faith and courage.

I relinquish control and surrender to Spirit. In the Silence, my open heart and mind reap the rewards of God’s living, loving Spirit. As I entrust myself to Infinite Love, I experience deep peace and well-being.

For not in my bow do I trust … But you have saved us from our foes.—Psalm 44:6, 7
