Turning to the source

I have something going on in my life right now which is a bit ... unsettled. I'm not quite sure what's happening, how things are developing, what I should do next, or how to think about things. While it is indeed "all good," I've found my mind dwelling on it more than I want, and my stress level rising. And in particular, I'm trying to figure out what I should do. In other words: how do I control this situation?

And with that, I know I need to change direction. It is sorely tempting to hash things over with every friend I have and strategize about what I "should do" and evaluate the potential implications of all my choices. However, that is moving me away from a place of trust and reliance on God and on His love for me. It's putting me out on a ledge of insecurity as I try and hang on with my fingernails and micromanage.

Instead, I decided to pray. And not just pray: pray more and more. There's a popular saying in Christianity: PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens. And that's what I've elected to do here. I know that the best outcome can only come when I'm completely comfortable, confident and aligned with all the spiritual forces out there. That's where I want to be, and I'm going to PUSH my way forward - as gently as possible! - until Something Happens.
