Life Path Story Mazes – #44 I can accept grace along my life path.
I know that I operate the best I can in my daily life.
I know that I do not know the solutions to every question which arises.
So many times, I am rescued by a surprising idea or a coincidence of some kind.
I understand now that it is Grace.
I am living in a Universe Which Loves Me.
Even if I am not aware of the resources around me, they are there.
When I do feel them, it is because of Grace.
Surprising answers and coincidences cause me to listen within.
I pause because something is different.
I have been forced to step off the path of my opinions.
Even my best plan is no match for the Infinite Grace and Care in my life.
I have learned to trust the presence of my Higher Power.
That is the only way I can explain the unexpected and unusual appearance of certain kinds of answers in my life.
I am thrown off track by the confusion and agitation which occur from disturbing circumstances.
I have no answers of my own.
But as I pause and take a deep breath, I create room, a moment, for grace.
And there is my answer.
Grace is the moment which provides peace for a comforting message to appear.
I discover that I am not alone.
There is a governing Presence all around me throughout my life.
I only tune into it when I am in distress.
Then I discover It is there all the time and I can always tune into It.
Grace is not something I know to ask for.
Grace is not something I can prepare for.
But grace is something which I can accept when it does appear.

Meditation Drawing 4.7 Prevent
In times of crisis, it is our duty and privilege to prevent despair.
After considering the consequences of a low energy response to danger, we take the steps to re-energize ourselves.
We draw old and new resources to us.
We listen within to discern the new.
We are always in a place to receive answers when we do this.
We position ourselves to become responsive to them.
We act with poise and balance and courage and certainty.
Even if we do not feel these emotions, we allow them to enter our being.
We create the conditions for inner listening over and over again.
As we hear the same message, it points us in the best direction.
I live in a Universe Which Loves All of Us.
I am responsive to a solution which creates well-being for all of us.
I am uplifted by this possibility.
I want to be prepared to implement the tiny steps which come to me.
The first tiny step which comes to me is to share the message of inner listening.
The second one is to share the message of how precious and loved each one of us is.
There are no barriers to inner listening, once we decide to do it.
We take our first deep breath and let its’ peace spread throughout our being, mind, body, soul and spirit.
I am making room for the next uplifting and comforting idea.
You can do this, too.
The source of my messages is the Uplifting Universe.
We will find our way step-by-step.
It is enough.
It is enough to listen within and to know this fact.

The Universe is very precise.
It requires diligence to tune out the distracting factors of daily life.
Life proceeds along harmonious lines when I do this.
I am supported by the Universe Who provides for me in every way.

Meditation Drawing 4.5 Compel
In the face of resistance, I compel myself to follow the dictates of conscience and intuition.
I require that I listen to my Higher Nature.
Even if I am the only once taking action in that direction, I know that I must do it.
It is worth it for me to know that I am following my inner Guidance.
It is because of my absolute dedication and loyalty to the Universe Who Loves Me.
I receive the gifts of inspiration and art in order to share them.
It is my purpose to uplift those around me.
I must focus wholly on what I am receiving in order to be true to it.
It requries full concentration in order not to be distracted.
A habit of listening within and taking action has become my base.
It is my daily, hourly practice which enables me to be faithful.
A moment of divine consciousness lays out my path.
I must stay in the energy of that Light in order to follow through.
As I uplift my frequency, I continue to receive what I need in order to carry out my mission.
I am whole in this action.
I move from idea to action to manifestation.
This is the most satsifying work I have ever done.
The depth of expression which this allows is deeply fulfilling.
We all have the ability to contact the Divine wtihin.
What is it which compels this action?
Our desire to live a higher life of service directs us.
Our gratitude for our own healing and upliftment.
We want all to share in this compelling way to live.
Our tiny steps lead us to full expression.
It compels us and the community around us to create well-being for all.

Pebble of Peace Pathway – Gelli Plate Art #1 –
Peacefully Following Through
Learning to go within helps establish an unfailing practice for finding answers.
Taking the steps as directed from within always fulfills the need.
When I get stuck, I am learning to go within, without fail, to find the next step.
This always gives me a peaceful solution.
Even though requirements may change daily and even hourly, I can always find the peaceful solution I seek by going within.
Since I have received my inspiration from within, it is natural that I should find the ways to share it most effectively from the same Source.
It is a comfort to know that, while I reason my way through all the possibilities, there is still only one really great answer, an answer of peace, from within.
