I ask my inner Teacher for help in forgiving. (20 November 2009) InnerSelf.com - Focus of the Day: I ask my inner Teacher for help in forgiving. ********************************* InnerSelf.com - Daily Inspiration: As I learned to let go of guilt and anxiety, I experienced a new sense of well-being. I decided that as best I could I would no longer allow myself to be limited by my judgments of the past and my fears of the future. But I saw that I couldn't do this alone; I had to ask God's help in making such a radical break with what had become my habitual way of thinking. I want you to know that I am notconsistent in practicing these spiritual principles. There are many times I am tempted to judge and to make fearful decisions about the future. When I do, and when my mind is not in harmony, I will sometimes feel tension in my back. Then I look for the unforgiving thought beneath the pain. I quiet my mind and tell myself I want the peace of God more than anything else. I pray, asking my inner Teacher for help in forgiving, and I give thanks that I am joined to everyone in love. When I do this, I often find that the back tension disappears, but more importantly, I again feel God's loving and constant presence.
