Doubt

It is astonishing how I can doubt God's love for me even in the teeth of the most dramatic evidence. Yet he does not withdraw his gifts in anger but continues to care for me in my need.

-- Let me put my trust in You as you lead me through this day's challenges.

-- Let me hear your word of life amid teh noise fo my busy life today.

-- Let me drink from the fountain of life and not from bitter and polluted waters.

Elder's Meditation -- Doubt and Control

There are many things that block us from wisdom such as selfishness, secrets, hate, anger, jealousy and judgments.
Another thing that can block us from wisdom is trying too hard or wishing something would happen.
Wishing implies doubt and trying implies control.
We need to let go of these things.
We need to abandon ourselves to the Creator.
As soon as we surrender everything, the wisdom starts to flow.
The Elders know how to help us with this.
Just ask them.

My Great Spirit, today I surrender my life and my will to Your care.
