GETTING CLEAR ABOUT ANY AND ALL WALLS IN MY LIFE I am faith-filled and fear-free because . . . I am aware that fear of failure leads to failure.


What do you do when you have done everything that you know how to do and you are still not moving in the desired direction?  How do you stay convinced that you are doing exactly what you need to do, in a way you need to do it?  The short answer is, you don't!  You don't keep moving when the movement is not taking you anywhere!  You have hit a wall, and when that happens, you must not claw at it!  You must back up.  Take a look around.  Let go of your needs and desires, and surrender.

When you hit a wall there is no need to give up!  Oh no!  We are not talking about that at all!  However, when you hit a wall, you must acknowledge that there is something you cannot see or do not know about that is standing in your way.

Fear creates walls.  Faith will tear down the walls of fear.  If you are struggling to get something done and it is not getting done, you could very well be in the way.  It could be that your fear of not getting it done is keeping it from being done. Your frustrationsabout howto get it done will not allow it to be done. Your anxietyabout when it will get done or if it can be done are probably blocking the path to getting it done.  When you hit a wall, don't attack it!  Back up in order to see what it is.

Hitting a wall could mean that the Holy Spirit of life wants to show you something, give you something, or do something for you that it cannot do because you are in the way.  If this is the case, the only way you can know for sure is to let go, back up and surrender your fear of the wall.

Until today, you may have believed it was noble or necessary to keep advancing your plans even after you hit a wall. Just for today, do not advance against any wall, human or otherwise. Back up! Let go! Surrender!  Listen for your new and improved marching orders!

Today I am devoted to getting clear about any and all walls in my life!

From Until Today!
