We need to have an attitude of child-like dependence upon God in all things. Trusting our heavenly Father knows what is best in every situation. It means surrendering to the will of God. (Prayer, p134)
Jesus said that the poor in spirit, the meek and sorrowing are
blessed, perhaps, because they are the ones who know they can't manage their
lives by themselves. When we do awaken and realize our own helplessness,
our spiritual poverty, we become open to the inward way. It is then that we
may ask the Christ figure to come into our imagination, restoring and
renewing us. (Transcend, p93)
Affirming a more holistic vision, from physics we learn the world is composed of dynamic energy patterns. We're all part of a universal unconsciousness. The circle comes around again as we realize once more that "no man is an island." We're all intrinsically linked in the dynamic web of life. (Tao Peace, p123)
Work as though everything depended upon you,
pray as though everything depended upon God.
