My mind has been known to be the searcher for what is wrong here. And when my spirit is not connected, I am acutely aware that I am thinking about how things are not as they are supposed to be. A quick way for me to get back into my heart space is to pose the question to myself, “What if things are exactly as they are supposed to be?” “What if there is nothing wrong with what is happening right here, right now?” My mind will often scoff which is good because that means I have thrown a spiritual understanding its way. God is present in the NOW. The NOW exactly as it exists in this moment. Not the “perfect” (my mind’s creation) NOW. Not the “it’s not supposed to be this way” NOW. God is present right here, right NOW. If I want to be with God (which my heart and spirit always want) then I am encouraged to let go of my mind’s idea of what is supposed to be and instead suppose that what is NOW IS supposed to be, exactly as it is. My prayer for us today is that in moments of discontent or frustration, we pause (breathe) and ask for the courage to be open to the idea that perhaps all is exactly as it is supposed to be right NOW (in God). Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
