FAITH AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
You can't will it and you can't
force it, but you can attract it with intention and faith.
You know how the Law of Attraction
works, why else would you be drawn to some people and want to
avoid others. Your vibrations are either in sync or they are
not.
Vibrations are the core of manifestation.
When you focus on an idea with your thoughts, those thoughts
set up a vibration that reflects the energy of those thoughts.
Those vibrations in turn create a vortex that attracts other
like-vibrations to it. This continues on until the formless
becomes formed.
What happens when you very much
want something to resolve itself into form and it doesn't seem
to be happening? That's where faith comes in. You have to believe
in and trust the Law of Attraction. You must have faith that
it works the way it works. And the greater the faith, the faster
it works.
How do you build faith? Like
anything else, you practice. You practice by being aware that
the Law of Attraction does work.
Sometimes you have to find yourself
up against a wall before you stop trying to force it and are
willing to give up and allow it to happen. Quite a few years
ago I arrived in Santa Rosa, California from New York City with
two dogs, two cats, and my mentally challenged granddaughter
who I was raising. I had no job, but I knew what temp agencies
paid. I had no house, but I knew what rents were. I also knew
there was a holistic community here. I distinctly remember standing
on a street corner and surrendering. I passed the baton: "There
is no way that I know how to find a good special education school,
a house that will take pets, and a good job in a town I don't
know. It's your turn, Spirit, take it away."
And of course, Spirit did. It
all fell into place. I had done two things. I had surrendered
and I had faith.
Practice surrendering to the
Universal flow and then be aware of what shows up. Often times
there are things that appear that you couldn't have dreamed
up but they are very, very right. Sometimes the timetable is
nothing you would have thought up-it's either faster or slower
and takes you by surprise. Just keep observing. Each demonstration
will deepen your faith.
Your thoughts, turn into an
intention that is filled with faith that creates your life experience.
You make it up. You direct it. You choose it. You are responsible
for it. If you don't like it, you know what you can do-change
your thoughts, change your intentions. If you do like it you
also know what to do, keep thinking and intending the way you
have been.
Even when you've been practicing faith in the Law of Attraction
for a long time, you may hit times when you wish things would
manifest a little faster, or a little more clearly. That's a
good time to ask for signs from the Universe. Ask for a sign
you are on the right path. Ask for a sign that you are making
the right choice. Ask for a sign that it's on its way. Then
keep a look out, for there will be many signals.
Set your intention, believe
in the Law of Attraction, surrender, trust and have faith.
I rest in sweet serenity
I need only do that which
is in front of me.
All that I need comes to me as I need it,
all the resources, the clarity
and the opportunities.
The power and plenty of God
Is bigger than any situation I face.
I am guided and supported
each step of the way.
I rest in sweet serenity
