But this one had bigger repercussions. I decided that God could not be trusted. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> Oops. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> Actually it was my broken heart that made this decision. I have heard that God would answer your heartfelt prayers and I prayed with every bit of twelve-year-old spiritual strength I could muster. And my request was not granted. So while I told myself I believed in God, my heart felt betrayed and deep, deep down in my spirit I figured all my requests would not be answered, if God did not deliver on this big one. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> It was only years, decades later actually, that I uncovered this deep down belief resulting from that decision - that I really did not have faith, that I really did not trust, that I had chosen to walk alone rather than with God, lest he betray me again. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> While writing and believing that I really believed in God. While loving God and seeing God's great beauty and miracles unfold for me, I awakened slowly to the fact that something was holding my back from fully committing to God. If ALL my prayers weren't answered, many, many, many of them were. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> That is why I do not believe "The Secret" holds the key to all we desire because some things cannot be given by a loving God for whatever reason. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> I remember in one of my lectures, a man asked me about a relationship he wanted. He wanted to use my technique, "Creating the Hero Energy" to "get" this person to come back to him again. Often people will write me requesting this very thing. Please let my husband, wife, partner, come back. I must tell you that is a normal reaction. I, myself lost a marriage and know the suffering that can accompany it. But God sees a different road for you and that person may or may not be traveling on it. They have one thing that stops this from working; Free will and you would truly, deep down not want it any other way. That person has a life to live. If it does not include you, move on, and ask for guidance. Easier said than done, I know. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> Somewhere God touched my heart with such sweet pure love. So many times there was a deep knowing that I was never alone, always cared for, always safe that this deep seated old belief had to come up for renewal. I cancelled my subscription. The turning point in my heart was amazing. I could let go of doubt now, not worrying if a project would be successful, a person I cared about would come along, etc. A peace and clarity about outcomes came over me. The deep resentment I carried from childhood toward an on-demand-prayer-answering God left me, replaced by a quiet surrender, "I know you care. I will trust that what you have in mind is even better." <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> It is a place of spiritual surrender that is not a white flag of defeat but a white rose of trust. It is the mature spiritual heart beating inside you now. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> Spiritual vision sees with trust. <p> </p> <p align="leftr"> <p> </p> <p align="leftr">Remember who you are! <p> </p> <p align="leftr">Terri Marie <BR> </a><BR> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p align="leftr"><a href="articles.html">Back to Spiritual Articles</a><BR> </li> </ul> <p> </p> </div><div id="paper_bottom"></div> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
