Discernment

A positive affirmation shared with me by my dear friend, Judy O'Higgins:

I discern what is mine to do.

Decisions come easily in some situations, but seem harder in others. If I find myself becoming overwhelmed in considering all the factors, I step back, remembering that I need never make a decision alone; the spirit of God is with me. Logic is helpful, but inner guidance leads the way.

There is a special sense of “rightness” in a solution that makes nobody wrong. Perhaps I am guided to make amends with another person or forgive someone. I let go of the mind chatter of worry and doubt to remember that God is with me. When I follow the urgings of Spirit, I am led to act in the most loving and productive way. I discern God’s will for me and know what is mine to do.

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
