Trust!
Your Inheritance Awaits by Sara Chetkin
Trust. It’s a powerful word, isn’t it? Almost alienating if you feel you have none, and I often notice that I don’t. I encountered my lack of trust the other day. My mother and I were on our way to the grocery store, and she was telling me that from now on whenever she feels frustrated or powerless, she’s going to recite Psalm 23 (my mother has a knack for esoteric interpretations of scripture). If you don’t know it, it’s the one that begins “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” She started reciting the verses, and the words reminded me of my own fears.
I was teary eyed and grateful for the reminder. I felt inspired to follow the wisdom of divine intelligence. I wanted to restore my faith. But how?
What does it take to simply relax into life; to watch events flow by, lazy as a river, or to remain in utter tranquility as they descend upon you in a thundering downpour? In other words, how can we be in the world, but not of it? The answer, my friends, is trust. Trust that all is well. Trust that we will be provided for. Trust that the bumpy road is tempo“I’ve forgotten to trust in the abundance rary. Trust that we have the power and of the universe,” I thought. “I’ve lost intelligence to move through every situfaith in the God within.” ation in a perfect state of grace. Easily said, not so easily done. 57 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July
