I walk in faith

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

I let go of all that is bad for me. I let go of the what worries me. I let go of what pains me. I let go of overthinking. I let go of wanting to be perfect. I let go of too many wants. I let go of bad news. I let go of negativity. I let go of thinking I am not enough.

God, You are enough for me. God, I am letting you take control of my life. God, I surrender to Your plans for me. I walk in faith. I am letting go and letting God. And just as I wrote that, the rain started pouring at 204am. Let that be a sign of Your presence and embrace. Let Your love rain over me. Let Your mercy give me direction.

If letting go in Your name. The let-ters of God can easily expand to God of direction. Show me the way. Keep me on Your path. I am open to the lessons* You are teaching me. I embrace the blessings You are pouring out. I know that Your timing is perfect. My heart is full of gratitude for Your constant guidance and love. I walk in faith with Your rain and Your reign*, and I am at peace.

*When I was finished I decided to do a word count and this chapter is 204 and 10 words.

*204 corresponds to the time rain began to fall and 10 words make up the highlighted statement.

*The rain might have fallen for about 10 minutes.

*I did a spell check after and there were two grammatical errors I spotted which I have highlighted and which is part of the word count. Seems as if even our mistakes are part of God's plans. Our mistakes are lessons.

*This is chapter 14

Bless us today

It is 515pm and I have decided to write. Today is the day before the holiday and it feels like a Friday. I did not feel like doing anything this afternoon. But I got up and made dinner. Then brush my teeth and bathe. A round of applause to all of us for being alive and making it through the day. There are many things we can applaud ourselves for. There are many things we can applaud others for. It is good to pat ourselves (and others) on the shoulders now and again. Life is not easy. No one has it easy. Comfort is an illusion. But God is real and so we pray. It is 214pm on the following Monday and I have decided to continue my writing. I have this thought. God is holding my hand and we are walking. Walking in empty space. I closed my eyes and selected a verse from the holy Quran. I landed on surah 94 verse 5 - so verily with hardship there is ease. No matter how and when we are tested we must remind ourselves of the goodness of God. God is not going to leave us stranded and empty hande...

How to measure success?

It is 509pm and I have decided to write. How to measure success? That is the question. It is very hard to measure success. I think only God has the true measure of success or failure. Someone may be a failure in this life but a success in the next life. We are told that God looks at intentions and effort. We can also determine our own definition of success. We do not have to let the world define success for us. We think of the world as not being a fair place so any one size fits all definitions of success or failure would be careless and wrong. Many times we think in terms of numbers. The grander the better. But what about quality over quantity? My friend tells me that I am essentially arguing for the democratization of success. I am taking the power away from society, institutions, and algorithms, and handing it back to the individual and God. That is true but I am essentially wanting to look at the bigger picture and to do that I am thinking that we have to answer some key questions ...
