Surrendering to Source

I have made a complete and total surrendering to Spirit. This was my confession/prayer yesterday as I was sitting at the feet of God during my quiet time.


I release the old.
I let go of my old ways.
I surrender to You.
I open myself - I open my heart to You and to all of life.
I trust again.
I invite You into my life.
I make room, I make space in my life for You.
I am not too busy.
I make time.
I allow.
I align with You each moment of my day.
I release and let go.
You are so faithful, so I trust and wait on You.
I expect and receive only goodness, mercy, and prosperity.
I hear You whisper that I am worthy and deserving.
I hear You whisper that I am Your child and that You love me.
I surrendered and let go and found You - I found me.

Trusting and Waiting

This is Blog #40 for Divine Presence - forty powerful opportunities to share myself and my journey with others. This has been a very interesting year for me in so many ways. I have been totally transformed and made anew in God. Two words have been with me and sustained me throughout this year, and they are "waiting and trusting in God." These are the scriptures that I love and that keep me strong and focused.


"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge God, and God shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6


"Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Deeply rooted

We are living in some very interesting times. Hold on to your hat for each day seems to bring something new and unexpected. I often wonder what will happen to us if we are not grounded and rooted in something larger than ourselves. So, I have created and added the following affirmative prayer to my daily quiet time to help me "remember to remember." I am deeply and eternally rooted in Source. My deep roots keep me centered, still, and in perfect peace. My deep roots are all I need to stay aligned and aware of the Divine Presence. My deep roots connect me to you and to all of life. I give thanks for my beautiful, rich, and deep roots. I give thanks for this Truth.

New Birth

There was something in me this week that wanted to share this piece from Consumed by Your Fire of Love that speaks of death and birth. Through all of the events over the past week, I was just so reminded of the coming and going of life and wanted to offer these thoughts.

New Birth

Death is all around me,
some physical, some symbolic,
but no doubt, still death.

Death of the body, death of old ways and habits,
death of relationships, death of beliefs that we are
ever separated from God.

Death in the belief that anything
we experience is not from God.

Death is all around me, lurking,
waiting, settling in for a long visit.

But I rejoice, simply rejoice and be still
and invite it in. But suggest that it moves quickly through,
to move out all those old thoughts, behaviors, and ways
that no longer serve me.

Death is all around me, making room
for a special loving space for all the new birth,
new life, new dreams, hopes, and plans.

Death is lurking, camping at my door, but she has
brought her companion—new life—with her as well.
Welcome.
