Overcoming Fear

So many people have had to face fear, stress and overwhelm these days. I talk about releasing your self over and your fears over to God. I do a deep meditation to allow you to expereince the gift of this through going into meditation and praying. I also address this in terms of empaths sensitvities.

Aloha.

I'm Rev.

Cindy Palos and it occurred to me how with all of the changes and the rapid pace of evolution and what's going on in the world,

How some people are getting pretty shook up and sometimes freaking out.

I mean if you've been seeing what's been happening on some airplanes with people kind of acting out,

You can definitely see some examples of this.

You can see it also in the actions of people who are angry.

Some of them are even taking guns and doing things that make absolutely no sense except the fact that they're expressing their anger and frustration and hatred out to the world.

And it is disturbing to see the action of some of these people.

I know as someone who's on the spiritual path and has been for a long time,

I like to see the best and the good in people.

And I know there's so many wonderful people out there doing great work and doing things to help and to serve and to do what they can to make the world a better place.

More than we ever hear about on the news.

And at the same time we are seeing also the fact that there is a great need right now for many people to get past their fears,

Get past their anger,

To find peace,

To find that inner security to be all right.

And I think if we are here to help and to serve in whatever way we can,

There's so many ways to do this.

We have to be aware that this is happening.

People are getting shook up.

People are beginning to wonder what's going on.

Now this has happened a lot in the past.

We kind of lose our overview of the fact that yes,

There was world wars,

You know,

Civil wars.

There's been battles and wars that have gone on throughout all time.

But we seem to have believed that with everything that's evolving and everything we've created,

That we might have gotten past this,

This issue of people wanting to freak out and to misbehave and to create wars and to spread danger into countries.

And so we have to look at the fact that yes,

There's still a lot of work to be done here on this planet.

Some of us might even remember at times why we came to actually be here at this time.

And I know that many people are at times,

When they're afraid,

Losing their faith in God.

And I have to probably even at this point being so aware that many people have gotten so upset that they get upset at the word God.

So let me just explain when I say God.

I'm talking about that source of all life,

All energy,

All love,

All light,

That source within the spirit that is there in our soul within all of us.

And I've read so many people who say I've had bad experiences with religion and I don't like to hear the word God.

And again,

It just brings me back to why I feel like I have to explain this deep love that I have given my life over to,

And many have,

Some without using that word ever,

But just trying to help and serve in whatever way they can.

Being a force for good is being a force for God.

Being a force of serving and helping humanity is helping and serving the energy of all people,

The energy that we all have that unites us and serves the world.

So please do not get hung up if I use the word God.

Get upset by that.

That's the last thing I'd want to do is upset people.

But at the same time,

I have learned since I have been on this path,

My connection with that inner light and that infinite love and that inner peace that I have found through this wonderful resource can't be ignored.

And at the same time,

We have to always renew our serving of a higher will,

Of getting past our ego and getting past thinking how great we are,

How much good we've done that indeed we will find in time we're humbled and realized that there are others doing so much good,

So much to help,

Some without any recognition,

But just doing what they can do in the world.

This may be in the form of someone who's helping in Ukraine or someone who's cooking dishes for people who are homeless.

Maybe someone who's out there in the trenches trying to do whatever good they can do that we may not,

We never even may know about.

They're just doing it because it's the right thing to do.

So in that humble spirit,

I would like us to remember that if we can go inside,

Whether you're someone who's just beginning on the path or someone who's unknowingly on the path or someone who has been on the path a long,

Long time consciously,

Many are beginning to lose their faith and trust in God because they've been seeing all the things that have been happening that have been painful and hurtful to maybe someone they know and love or maybe to people they know that are in the service of the world that have been hurt.

But it is so important that we can call upon that connection to faith,

That connection to knowing that we're not doing this for ourselves when we're doing good.

We're doing it for everyone.

We're doing it for the united world,

The good will of the world.

But when we are doing it for that,

We are doing it for ourselves because when we are there helping and serving,

We are finding that it comes back in so many beautiful,

I'd say miraculous ways,

Ways that we see that are beyond our normal minds understanding,

Things that are so miraculous that we can only be humbled again and thank God for the opportunity that we are given to see over and over and over again that there is a greater good at work and often that greater good works through us.

And we will be reminded if we allow ourself to be reminded that there is a purpose we're here that we're serving that is so important right now.

It's so important to be strong and courageous and committed and dedicated to doing what we can to help awaken,

To evolve and to serve the world,

To serve a higher purpose.

I was just listening to Insight Timer and I heard a lovely lady,

Maria,

Do the St.

Francis de Salles prayer and I think I had heard it before,

But you know I needed to hear it again and I heard her talk on this one and it reminded me,

In fact I sent it to my daughter and to a couple of people I know who've been going through challenges.

I have a dear friend who's a pastor and minister and she's been helping to serve in so many ways.

She was the one there in the emergency room in the hospital for years and she got COVID after three years of serving in intense situations of that and now she has long term COVID and she can't do that work anymore.

She's not able to do her job anymore because of this and yet she still has that faith and she still is doing what she can and she changed her path in life to now being able to help those who have long-term COVID and I read this now thinking of people like her and many others who have been deeply affected by what's going on in the world and to all the empaths who have highly sensitive feelings and who are really being affected by some of the things happening.

So let me read this for you,

This beautiful prayer.

Be at peace.

Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life.

Brother,

Look to them with the full hope as they arise.

God whose very own you are will deliver you from out of them.

He has kept you hitherto and he will lead you safely through all things and when you cannot stand it,

God will bury you in his arms.

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow.

The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and every day.

He will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.

Be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and imagination.

Now he wrote this a long time ago.

He lived from 1567 to 1622 and you know that he was there during times of intense suffering but I find it very interesting now that he is the patron saint of journalists.

As we think of those who may be out in the field in Ukraine and places like Turkey or Syria where there were earthquakes,

Those who are taking on the courage to go to places they would rather not be but they feel called to be.

Think of how powerful that prayer is.

And these days I see more and more calls for prayer.

I even see it every day on Facebook or Instagram and I have to wonder sometimes if people when they say they will pray for someone,

Maybe someone who's suffering from cancer,

Maybe someone who's in the hospital is about to go into surgery.

I can't help but ponder and wonder if people are praying,

Really praying,

When they put the prayer emoji out there.

Because a prayer emoji is a second of good energy but are you really taking that prayer request and going deeply within into that silence?

Let's go there and see and maybe we can take this time for someone who has asked for a prayer and take this energy in this time to send them prayers from that place within.

More than just a second of saying prayers.

A little deeper.

Let's go within and just go into the silence there.

Let's breathe in that beautiful energy of God's protective light and love.

Taking that light of the highest and putting it around us,

Above us,

Through us,

Below us,

In front of us,

On all sides of us and sealing it with that light from the highest source.

And just be in this place where you can go inside and connect with the highest force for good.

Let's go into our light within.

Just breathing in the silence,

Feeling safe and being still and knowing that you are connected to that highest source of all.

That light of God's love there within you,

In your soul.

Just let's go deep into that soul's light and from that highest point within,

That soul of our soul,

That light of our light,

That love of all love.

Let yourself be infused with that light and love and go to that place where you can connect and have a conversation with that God source.

And let us ask God to send that highest light and healing love,

That healing energy to someone who has asked for prayers.

I'm going to give you some time in the silence where you can ask God to send healing light and love to someone you know.

And we all know someone who could use some healing light and love.

And now let's take a moment and send that light out to those who are serving in places where they could be putting themselves in harm's way.

Let's say a prayer for all of those ones who are working for good.

That may be nurses,

Doctors,

Working for higher well-being.

In many ways,

Let's send them our light and love through the request through the highest force of light and love to their souls through God.

And we say,

Thank you,

God.

Thank you,

God.

Amen.

And so it is.

And let's take any of the burdens we may be feeling.

Let's take any of the issues we may have that have been causing us fear and worry and struggles.

And let us just take that same energy that we have sent to others through God to that highest connection we have to that light of all light,

That love of all love,

That place where we can connect with that force within.

Let us ask for that healing light and that love to come and surround us,

To heal us,

To protect us.

We can call upon the angels of the Lord.

We can call upon the servants and the ones who are there working diligently to help serve and protect.

And let us now allow ourself to believe we are surrounded by the highest light and love and trust and have faith that that energy is being sent to us right now.

And breathe it in and bathe in it and release any tension,

Worry,

Fear and stress that you may have been holding.

Let go of those burdens.

Let them be released right now.

Just allow yourself to know that it is okay.

You are all right right here,

Right now in this moment.

You are in the hands of God.

You are protected.

You are fine.

You are in that highest light and love of protection.

Breathe this in and now slowly come back and let yourself be bathed in this wonderful holy light and love.

Believe it,

Accept it and give thanks for it.

Then give thanks for all the blessings and the miracles that happen in that wonderful resource that you have in your connection with God.

Thank you God and so it is.

God bless you always and I thank you for being here with me today.
