Proverbs 9:6 says "Forsake the foolish and live; and go in the way of understanding."  I know I have a spiritual nature.  Yet I experience negative emotions; fear,anger, and hate.  These emotions hinder me growing spiritually.  I know God who is Spirit is able to provide for my needs, satisfy my desires, protect and guide me.  I may not hear His voice at times, but I can trust He has a plan and He knows what He is doing.  Although I know these truths, I feel disconnected from them at some of the lowest moments in my life. To know the truth is to build knowledge and develop understanding.  This is my challenge.  During these disconnected moments, I fear.  Fear renders me inactive.  I don't enjoy being in this fearful place, but there is a purpose for every season.  This fearful season that plagues me I believe is the result of me remaining disconnected from The Source of Life.  This place, this season, I must reach a point of resolution.  My Father delights in giving me goodness, peace, and joy.  In the midst of these difficulties of life, I seek Divine guidance.  Hopeless and helpless I cry out for deliverance.  At this time a book I'm reading encourages me with these words"Dear daughters, do not believe you are being punished, or that you have been forgotten by me when you are grappling with the mysteries of life.  You are here, in this form, at this time, to bring forth blossoms of beauty which are buried deep in your heart.  Do not become dismayed when you miss an opportunity, misunderstand a direction, or are delayed in receiving rewards.  All that is ordained for you awaits you.  Rest assured that a day of sorrow is but a moment in the divine plan for your life."
