Del used to say that in times of uncertainty, or of challenge, or when he wasn’t sure what the right choice among many might be, that he would pray, “Father*, I’m trusting.” And by pray, I mean focus one-pointedly in it, so that you embody the intention, you become the prayer, which is another way of talking about praying without ceasing.
FATHER, I’M TRUSTING
Simplest prayer in the world. And perhaps the most powerful. Not, “I’m trusting about tomorrow.” Not. “I trust You in yesterday.”
But: FATHER, I’M TRUSTING
In THIS moment. In THIS now. With every fiber of my being, I relinquish all my opinions, preferences, and desires about any possible outcome.
FATHER, I’M TRUSTING
I’m trusting, moment by moment. As you trust, as we trust and relinquish, God can work out God’s perfect plan.
*Tanya’s Note: ‘Father’ was Del’s word. For myself, I am using the prayer, Spirit, I’m trusting.
