“If you have made it a habit to ask for help when and where you can, you can be confident that wisdom will be given you when you need it. Prepare for this each morning, remember God when you can throughout the day, ask the Holy Spirit’s help when it is feasible to do so, and thank Him for His guidance at night. And your confidence will be well founded indeed. (M71)”
Affirmation: “ask for help when and where you can”
Reflections:
This passage outlines the way in which Jesus would have us respond to the Holy Spirit. Ask in the morning, turn to God during the day, and thank Him at night for His guidance. We will then know the truth of these important words.
If we become more egotistical, which will happen from time to time, we can gauge our state of mind by how willing we are to be flexible about following the Holy Spirit’s guidance. We will need to be flexible, because sometimes the guidance comes at the immediate point that we have begun to do something different.
Following guidance is the way to happiness in this world. And it is also our way Home.
Prayer:
Dear Father/Mother,
Thank you that I have recently been able to ask for and to receive guidance more frequently than I sometimes do. I have been on the pathway. Thank You for giving me the strength to trust.
May my willingness to follow guidance remain strong. You know how much happier my life becomes when I am pliable in Your hands.
Amen.
