Letting Go of Fear
Permalink  

I just found this picture and set it as my avatar.  I took it with my camera phone a couple weeks ago while I was driving to pick up my older son (yes, I pulled over first - haha).  It was actually a very small rainbow in the sky - you can't really see it in the picture, but it was there.

The coolest thing was, on my drive home just before I saw the rainbow in the sky, I had been praying.  I told my HP that I was feeling anxious about a particular situation, and I prayed to be free of the fear and anxiety.  I prayed for a sign that all would be okay.  And then I saw the rainbow, and immediately had tears of gratitute because I didn't believe it was a coincidence.

All this is just to say, my HP is good and gives me what I need when I need it.  :)  Sometimes I forget to pray (or remember but just don't make time) and get myself stuck in fear and anxiety.  The peace I feel when I let go is amazing.

Thank You White Rabbit

Beautiful picture and a thoughtful, insightful share.

I must keep praying and letting go of fear each moment of each day when I feel it come  into my mind.

Again Thank You .

White Rabbit,

I loved your post. It reminded me of what I try to remember. You can't have fear if you have faith, and you can't have faith if you have fear.

HUGS,
RLC

Awesome Rabbit...you can see and hear when you're being spoken to by your HP without
getting a whap!! on the back of the head like I use to.  Stay open...HP doesn't speak just
once...more is coming and I know that from experience.   ((((hugs)))) smile

Thank you, White Rabbit. I appreciate this experience as I am working very hard on my 3rd Step: Turning my will and my life over to the care of God (as I understand Him). Any little bit of "evidence" that God is with me/us means so much to me as I strive to let go of my own fears. My AH moved out over the holidays and this has been a very good  thing for me--still worried that financially I will be OK and fearful to enjoy this too much. I love stories like yours -- thank you for sharing it.
