My Higher Power Is Always with Me, Whether I Can feel It or Not
When i experience times of feeling utterly alone, i can remind myself that my Higher Power is with me and knows how I feel. this concept may be difficult to trust, but if I continue to affirm this, I will come to believe it.
My abuse experience taught me that I was all alone and that there would be no help or support forthcoming. i internalized that feeling of total aloneness and may continue to carry it with me on a daily basis. This is where my hopelessness lives and flourishes.
Today I need to affirm that I am no longer a helpless and frightened child. I am an adult who has many choices. One of those choices is to reach out to others and tell them how I feel. I can help my child-within feel her feelings about having been left so alone and helpless, and use my adult-self to reassure her of protection.
My child-within may have some difficulty believing in a Higher Power because she may not yet have experienced someone "coming through" for her/him. As I am able to be there for her/him and allow others to be there for her/him too, I nurture her inherent need to believe in a protective and loving spiritual being.
Today I remember that I am not alone.
