Hello and welcome to Victoria Drake Studios and the Windows of Meditation.
As we open up our minds and begin slowly relaxing our bodies,
Directing our energies inwards and toward our third eye,
Looking through deepening spiritual perceptions,
Breathing in and allowing for the divine,
Trusting in your internal light,
That sacred flame of inner knowing.
Especially when the world of doubt tries to blow it out,
Help me to lean into my faith,
Lord,
To turn it over to you.
And when I do,
I am uplifted.
It's easy to question when there are so many bad things happening in the world.
When sadness,
Loss,
And difficulties become overwhelming.
When we feel forsaken.
When the downward spirals happen.
When my fortitude is tested and my spirit is weak,
Help me to unburden myself,
To lean into my faith,
Lord,
To turn it over to you.
And when I do,
I feel lighter.
I feel hope.
When confused,
Frustrated,
Things not lining up how,
When,
And in the ways we want them to,
Faith can become strained.
Spiritual timelines aren't necessarily on our earthly clock.
They cannot be rushed and can even seem to slow down the more we want them to speed up.
Mysteriously slipping through and around conventional time.
Then suddenly,
In the blink of an eye,
It happens,
The alignment,
It all becomes clear and a deeper awareness is born.
Oh,
Now I see what couldn't be seen before or why it happened this way or that.
That things truly did work out as they were meant to.
I humbly turn my impatience over to you,
Lord.
And when I do,
I feel my spirit calm and faith is restored.
Thus,
I turn it over,
Turn it over,
Over and over again and again,
Trusting and leaning into the deepest of faith that your love for me,
For all your children,
Brings comfort in the foggy days of the in-between spaces,
The insecurities of the unknown.
That by turning my fears and worries over to you,
Lord,
You ease my spirit and help me hold the burdens so I don't have to do it alone.
As we contemplate our relationship to faith,
Let us relax,
Opening upwards and traveling through the windows of meditation for five minutes of silence.
And here we go.
So here we are,
Hopefully arriving into a more faith-filled place,
Trusting that when I call out to you,
You are there.
That when I am weak,
You uplift my spirit.
When I feel alone,
You are by my side.
That you are there even when I'm not aware of how you guide my path,
Of how you pick me up when I fall,
Opening new doors as others close,
Placing guides,
Signs,
And connectors along the unknown unfolding path of life.
When I turn my heart to you,
Lord,
Everything is so much easier for your light illuminates all darkness,
Question marks resolving,
Silver linings revealing at the right time in the right way as you see fit.
Help me to continue to keep remembering,
To lean into my faith,
Renewing it each day,
Because when I do,
I feel gratitude,
Light,
And joy becoming more accessible,
Shining through and becoming brighter.
Help me to channel this peaceful,
Loving energy out into the world with situations and the people around me,
Utilizing my gifts to embrace my calling,
To honor you,
To do my part to uplift humanity and this beautiful planet with blessings.
Until next time.
