For this Sunday, March 3rd, the focus for
our meditation will be on Trust. This is an impatient time of year
for me. We begin to see hints of spring
but know instinctively winter is probably not through with us yet. At times the temperatures vary from day to
day by more than 30-degree swings. I
want winter to be over with and to be able to move on to nicer weather that
allows me to spend more time outside. But
knowing there is still winter remaining I must be patient and Trust
spring will come in its own right time. This
Wednesday, March 6th, marks the beginning of Lent which mirrors the
40-day period when Jesus went into the desert to gain insight. He had to have had an enormous amount of
faith and patience to spend 40 days preparing for the trial he knew he would
have to undergo. When he emerged, he had
to have Trust that the path he had chosen to take was correct. The challenge with Trust is you usually
have to rely on it in the absence of any assurance as to the outcome of what
you face. It can be a bit like walking a
tightrope while blindfolded. This is
where our faith comes in. If we can have
the patience to hold off the urge for immediate gratification and wait things
out often the right result that is far better than what we would have otherwise
imagined occurs. This week in our prayer
and meditation time let us enter into the Lenten period by contemplating where
we may need more Trust in our life.
May we specifically be guided in how to develop more Trust in
ourselves and recognize that with patience and faith we can prevail through any
challenge.
In our efforts this week let us also continue to use the
energy of our prayers and meditation to amplify the light that covers and fills
this nation. As we perform our
meditation this week let us begin by re-energizing the brilliance and power of
the light we create. Just as before,
begin by forming a concentrated ball of light that is so bright it is almost
impossible to look directly at it. Raise
this sphere of light up high over the nation and then let its rays cascade down
to create a solid, impenetrable dome of light that completely covers every inch
of our country. From shore to shore and
border to border let the entire continent be filled with this brilliant, dense
light that will serve to magnify the best and highest qualities of our country
and the people who live across its vast lands.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered in
your body, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us
and connect to the circle of others participating in this project.
Ask yourself what do I feel in my body when I am willing to have
faith and Trust in the inevitable right
outcome of a situation? How does it feel in my body when I can let go of
impatience and Trust that something
better awaits me? Then send the energy and intention of those feelings to
the nation.
Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express
thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.
