A Year of Rumi

Lesson 364: Surrender
After despair, many hopes flourish
just as after rain
thousands of roses open.
Surrender to the Almighty –
and be led into life.
I woke up feeling blah. Who want's to be blah. I feel like the "old me" is getting sucked back in to itself and I need to say. Hey, that's not the REAL YOU!! The real you is full of life, happy, excited about the day and it's possibilities. I'm not talking about the occasional off day that we all have but a momentum or a pattern that has existed for awhile and this one has!!! So the first step is discipline, setting a goal and sticking to it!! Another thing that I haven't really done in my personal/spiritual life. Oh yeah, it's easy for me to work and work but to take care of my needs is another story and how can I ever be whole in that sense of holy li ness if I don't start with me!!!
Dear God,
The whole point of this prayer experiment is to be led by you. I want to see how my life will be changed. Already my attitude is more uplifting. Today I noticed that I was being sucked back into the old me and I am grateful for the awareness to recognize that or was that you? nudging me ever so slightly. :) So always stand beside me and guide my day, help me see and know the God truth in every situation. Help me to be kind but firm in my resolve and let me speak from my heart when prompted. I want to be led by God truth, God wisdom, God Love, God direction, God harmony, by all that is YOU! Why? because my ego has led me like a ring in a bull's nose.
I ask this for myself, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact this day and for the whole world. Not my will. Amen
