Be You in Charge
For I would follow You
Posted by aplecompte on January 19th, 2010
I was restless during my meditation this morning. I tried all my usual ways to become still, but none of them worked. Then I remembered a phrase I usually say to myself and tried it:
This holy instant would I give to you.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You,
Certain that Your direction gives me peace.
And there it was: peace, deep and complete.
Here in New England we have an expression, "Light dawns on Marblehead." Well, the light dawned. That is indeed my final lesson. My whole problem was that I wanted to think apart from God, to do it separately. What a bad idea! No wonder I was restless this morning. I have been rest-less ever since I had that tiny mad idea. It was Pandora's box; I let all the trouble into the world and tried to cope. Impossible.
The instant I sincerely asked God to be in charge, knowing what I was praying for, I experienced total peace. I want God to do the thinking for me, because I don't even know what thinking is. I really don't know anything. God does. I followed and was given peace, real peace of mind. I like it. I want it all the time.
Bless you, my brothers.
