Bringing Light to Daily Life

I would like to request a blessing for myself and my Family. I would like to request that we be a more happy, and more positive family. There are financial, and spiritual struggles with us. We need to love ourselves, and be there for each other. We need to know that we our loved by our Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ, his son, and that they are always with us. With so many daily struggles with raising a family, and working, and worrying about everyday stresses, we forget about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and make ourselves believe that we are on our own to deal with everything. Please help us to know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and to get that peaceful and tranquil feeling within ourselves that we so desperately need, sometimes, to help us to get through the day, and to deal with all the overwhelming feelings of self-doubt about ourselves. Help us to get rid of the negative energy within ourselves, and replace it with positive energy.Thank you for listening to me. I feel much better, now that I have expressed my feelings to you. Sincerely, Stephanie

Dearest Stephanie,

You and your family are beloved to us, and we understand the difficulties you are facing. There are several things happening in this situation that are creating the challenges you face in being able to feel and experience the peace and tranquility of God's presence in your daily lives.

First, it is important that you understand deeply from within your heart the magnitude of change that is happening on the Earth at this time. Though much of this appears invisible to you in your daily life, you are actively participating in this transformation process because of the light you carry in your heart and your consciousness, and because of the deep devotion in your heart to God, to Christ and to your fellow human souls on the Earth.

As more of God's love and light is able to manifest directly in the physical realms of the Earth, the process of purification is greatly accelerated both for the Earth herself and for all beings on the Earth. Long held tendencies towards separated consciousness are being brought to the surface, which you are experiencing in your own awareness. As challenges come, the familiar tendency to feel that you are on your own is triggered.

These feelings are not a sign of your failure to live your life connected to God. Rather, you are experiencing these feelings because this long held tendency within you is being released from your body and consciousness. The feelings are an energy, and the energy is being released because of the greater light within you and within the Earth now. You experience the feelings as a wave, and the waves can last for a longer or shorter period of time.

When these energies are at a peak, it is common to feel lost and despairing, because it appears that you are far from where you wish to be. What is important to understand, is that the process of purification is a sacred process that is an expression of God's holy covenant with humankind, and that you are not failing by experiencing these feelings. Rather, you are following the sacred path of purification that redeems all darkness and separation, and that will bring you home to God's heart.

Your daily challenges offer you the opportunity to go through these waves of purification, holding the larger perspective that God's light within you is leading you home. Another important understanding that you must holding during this time dearest Stephanie, is that you are not the feelings that you are experiencing. The negativity is temporary, a passing wave, but is not the reality of your soul and spirit, nor is it the reality of your soul's intentions.

The negativity as an energy can hold convincing sway over the emotions and can convince a person that their attempts to live a sacred life are futile, that there is no point to doing so in today's world. These negative energies can cause even the most devoted servants of God to doubt their spiritual calling, to doubt themselves and their spiritual purpose, and even to doubt those of the light who are present on the spiritual and physical realms to assist them in their journey.

When you feel these energies manifesting within your own emotional or physical body, or when you see this manifesting within your family, it is helpful to stop what you are doing if possible and to pray. The Lord's Prayer can help you anchor to the vibration of light within you, and can provide you some needed space from the negativity.

The process of purification is also happening globally, and so we are seeing at this time on the Earth many manifestations of negative energy. This experience can manifest in many ways where your attempts to bring greater light into your life and into the world appear to be blocked or contracted. This experience can feel disheartening to those who love God, and we encourage you dearest Stephanie to create new supports in your life that can help you to remain connected to the light within you, and that can renew your weary spirit and lighten your burden.

One way that families can anchor in God's light together is to have a short daily ritual of prayer, meditation, sacred reading or other spiritual practice that brings everyone in the family together, and offers spiritual and emotional nourishment. This can be as simple as reading a passage from a sacred text, sharing the meditations from the Calendar of 100 Days or the Calendar 60 for Young People, or singing sacred music together. The other important component of this sacred time together is to have a brief sharing or discussion so that any challenges experienced in the day can shared and be consciously brought before God for healing. The important thing is that it be done each day, with the intention of bringing God's presence, love, light and comfort to you and your family.

As with any new activity of light, there will be resistance and negativity that arises to meet the new light that is being opened. It will be important for you and your family to meet these resistances with faith, and with firmness of resolve, so that the negativity does not gain a foothold in your consciousness. This can be challenging especially with some young children, who can become vehicles for these negative energies and can act out these energies in many distressing ways. There are families here within the World Blessings community who are familiar with this challenge and can be of assistance to you if you would like support as you enter this new phase of your family's spiritual life together. Simply make a request on the Daily Blessings forum and a discussion can begin.

One of the ways that negative energies manifest most directly is through creating the illusion of separation both within people and between people. It is our intention to support the coming together of those who love God, so that the light within each one can support the light of the whole family of humankind, which is deeply interconnected in ways unimaginable to the mind. Your heart, your mind, and your body are part of a vast web of God's life, given as a gift to you and to all of humanity. Make wise use of this gift, and share it with others, as all beings on the Earth at this time need God's love and comfort. With all love and blessings, Amen
