Putting Your Ego Aside

Hi,
I know that it's extremely hard to put your own feelings and thoughts aside. But for you to be at peace and to trust God, this is what you need to do.

Take for instance, I am trying to get out there as an author, so I sent my manuscript to a publisher. They liked it but wanted me to front some of the costs. This was not what I was looking for, so I declined. Now if I allowed my ego to get in the way, I could still try and push my manuscript. But maybe this isn't my path. Even though I love writing and enjoy it more than I do my day job, maybe God has something different for me. So I need to move my ego aside, and let it be. Let it go and let God decide what's best for me. Trust me it's hard.

Everyday I catch myself judging people, judging situations, worrying, trying to manipulate things, even though I know better. Instead I need to learn to just let it go and be at peace; have love fill me instead of anger, to clean instead of worrying, to not judge. It's easy enough to say, but doing it is hard. It's a battle everyday.

But instead of trying to control my life, I am going to let go. If God wants me to get published, He will find away. If God wants me to come back to my previous job, He will find away. It's not up to me to push and manipulate people or situations, because when I do this, it sends a signal to Him, that I don't need His help.

So I'm trying to remember that I know nothing, and to just let go. God knows what's best for me, better than I do.

Remember in these crazy times with the financial market, trust in God. Don't worry, don't try and control things, let go and trust that God will provide or show you the way.

Happy Holidays
Love
