Not In Charge

Similar to yesterday’s meeting, today the focus was on allowing God or the universe to be in charge of life rather than us trying to control it, often stated as “going with the flow”.  I spoke of my simple but effective morning procedure.  I begin each day with a period of prayer and meditation during which I surrender my will by making it clear that I need help and asking for guidance and support and also making it very clear that I am not in charge of outcomes.  I then go about my day and do the best I can.  I realize that beyond my own words or actions, most things that happen are not my responsibility, very freeing.
