November 29 - Contrary to what some people think, the slogan "Let Go and Let God" isn't an expression of apathy, an attitude of defeatism, or an unwillingness to accept responsibility. Those who turn that backs on their problems are not "letting go and letting God," but, instead, are abandoning their commitment to act on God's inspiration and guidance. They neither ask for nor expect help; they want God to do it all.
In seeking God's guidance, do I realize that the ultimate responsibility is mine?
Today I Pray - May I not allow myself to be lazy just because I think God is going to do everything anyway. (Such apathy reminds me of my old powerless self, the one that moaned that the world was going up in smoke, civilization was going down the drain, and there wasn't a think I cold do about it.) Neither may I use "letting God" do it as my excuse for shrugging off my problems without even trying. May God be my inspiration; may I be an instrument of God.
Today I Pray - God guides those who help themselves.
