A time to change or a time to pray

The changes I make in my life should come from a mindset of acceptance or surren-der and not resistance. The energy which resistance creates is much different than that of surrender and the solutions to my problems will be much different as well. When turmoil comes into my life, I first try to accept where I am or surrender to the idea that I can not effectively change things with this state of mind. When ac-ceptance creeps in, it is time to listen to my inner voice. "Be still and know that I am God". The true answers to my condition will be revealed if only I get quiet and listen. If nothing comes, it is time to pray. John L—Editor
