Accepting Change

The winds of change blow through my life, sometimes gently, sometimes like a tropical storm.

Yes, I have resting places - time to adjust to another level of living, time to get my balance, time to enjoy the rewards.

I have time to catch our breath.

But change is inevitable, and desirable.

Sometimes, when the winds of change begin to rustle, I am not certain the change is for the better.

I may call it stress or a temporary condition, certain I'll be restored to normal.

Sometimes, I resist.

I tuck my head down and buck the wind, hoping that things will quickly calm down, get back to the way things were.

Is it possible I am being prepared for a new "normal"?

Change will sweep through my life, as needed, to take me where I am going.  I can trust that my Higher Power has a plan in mind, even when I don't know where the changes are leading.

I can trust that the change-taking place is good. The wind will take me where I need to go.

Today, help me, God, to let go of my resistance to change.

Help me be open to the process.

Help me believe that the place I'll be dropped off will be better than the place where I was picked up.

Help me surrender, trust, and accept, even if I don't understand.
