Yes, and I also find working out my anger with God, rather than with the person, so much more helpful (and less destructive!)

Having said that, it’s not a discipline I do all the time, only for times and seasons.

We will all journey in His power on that great, blessed morn. And we will fly!

Yes, learning to relax and do things in God’s power is the spiritual secret of the saints. It’s something I keep forgetting and relearning. One day…

Thank you, Les. I wish I had prayed and committed the first writing task to Jesus from the start, but I hope I have now learned the importance of doing so!

You send us back to Jesus and away from ourselves. Thank you Anita.

Just this week I’ve been experiencing how I can shift my effort–ask God before I do things, do them in His power. It’s one of those things I’ve been hearing about my whole Christian life and yet never really understood. I’m a newborn in this practice, but I have this hunch that it is going to transform _everything_.
