God provides insight in our minds when we open ourselves up to the idea that we may not have all the pieces.  It starts with the momentary breath in which we pause to take stock of what information we have and what information we are missing.  In that moment we can choose to open ourselves up to more information.  We will experience glimpses in God’s vision of ourselves, others, situations and decisions.  These glimpses set out a path that we could not create due to our limited view.  In my experience God does not lay out the entire path, but I get glimpses along the way. The glimpses usually come in the form of the next indicated step.  When I find myself in a place of trying to figure out and not being able to I will turn to God in wonder of an answer.  Sometimes I hear God reminding me that I am focused on something that is not in the day I am in.  I am reassured that if I focus on this day, I will be given what I need. It is hard to let go and trust I will be provided with a glimpse as I need it.  In the meantime, I do not sit by and do nothing.  I have learned that worrying is not actually doing anything but providing potential fuel for fear which in the end is not helpful.  If there is something I can do, I ask God for the courage to do it.  If there is not, I let go and trust. Worrying, I have learned is not action for my head, despite how much my mind may want to go there.  Glimpses require an ongoing relationship.  Very much like C.S. Lewis said, “Relying on God has to begin again all over again each day as if nothing had yet been done.”
