October 3 – Protected. Creative Awareness.

2009
God is my source, my strength and my shield.

Feelings of insecurity may creep up on me from time to time. If so, I take a moment to observe the thoughts behind my feelings. Rather than dwell on what might go wrong, I choose to focus on God’s powerful, protecting presence within and around me.

With each slow, deep breath, I am filled with peace. God is greater than my fears, and I am God’s beloved. I call upon divine strength and feel my strength increasing.

In any situation, God is mighty in the midst of me, lifting my spirits and calming my mind. God is my source, my strength and my shield. I am grateful for a peaceful heart, as I know I am always safe in God’s presence.

Creative awareness lets you see the problems in your relationships clearly. We often relate to people only on certain conditions, we ask them to fulfill our needs or be exactly as we want to see them to fulfill our needs or be exactly as we want them to be. But the beauty of a relationship is it enables you to open to another person, and that person to you. With creative awareness, you become more aware and appreciative of other people. You see them as they are, not as you want them to be. You recognize their good qualities but you also see their foibles and have space for those too: you begin to love them unconditionally. Acceptance is the ground of love.
