Seeking Guidance

Recently, following the advice of my wife, I had a talk with Jesus which some would call prayer and meditation.  I felt the need for some specific support and guidance, which I got.  The difference between what I did on this occasion and the prayer and meditation that I normally do was that I specifically asked to talk with Jesus.  My concern was that I would abuse or in some self-centered way take advantage of the knowledge, power and gifts I had been given, something I considered a very real possibility.  I encountered a very understanding, compassionate presence and was assured that would not happen.
