Five
joyous celebrants welcomed the first session of the new year. Everyone seemed
to have traditions they followed that should bring us health and good cheer
through the year. In the Opportunity chapter of the SFG book, we read the
section “Faith Helps Us Grasp Opportunity.” In the Experiments book, we read
the next two:
Experiment
1: Practice a sense of release, of turning things over to God. Ask for His
help frequently. Do the best you can, but know (and live as you know) that by
yourself nothing can be accomplished of real value. Write and use as needed
your own “release affirmation” such as: “I release this person or situation
into the hands of God, trusting that He will bring to both of us that which is
most needed.”
Experiment
2: Do not let fear of failure deter
you from doing acts of love or service which are in keeping with your spiritual
ideal. Approach life with a boldness that is not afraid to appear foolish. Seek
opportunities to risk. Affirm: “I am capable of doing well all that comes to me
to do.”
