sometimes with clenched teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366\">And we&#8217;ve made some progress along the way.\u00a0 But are we &#8220;there&#8221; yet?\u00a0 Maybe it&#8217;s time to stop pressing and let Spirit have Its own way with us &#8211; to relax more, get loose, and let the Divine Plan be revealed in all its glory.\u00a0 It could be that we&#8217;ve been so focused on trying to make things happen spiritually that we&#8217;ve actually impeded the creative activity of Spirit.\u00a0 This preoccupation with satisfying the wants of life through what we consider spiritual mind-action may have taken us out of the stream of the <em>natural process<\/em>, where everything is already being done as the will, way, word, and work of God.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s go the <em>way <\/em>of the Lord-God-Self and become an instrument for Spirit.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366\">Let it be done.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080\">I felt something ease inside my heart when I read this last night.\u00a0 Sometimes we <em>try <\/em>so hard to do it right.<br \/>\nMy friends Shya &amp;
