Powerlessness - The path to internal peace

Powerlessness – The path to internal peace

April 4, 2017I Dare You, My BlogKristiane Cates

“My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my happiness, my inner peace.” -Denzel Washington

My goal in life is to get to the point, where this isn’t a mantra and a concept, it is part of the fiber of how I live.  I live honestly. Mistakes will be made. Maturity evolves. Grace is a growing capacity inside of me both for others, and for myself.

In an attempt to reach internal consistent peace, I tackle the largest adversary to it. Powerlessness.

Powerlessness is part of life. I think it’s designed to show you that you are smaller than you think. The world is a big place, you don’t run the show, control the stage, write the music that keeps the stars in the sky, or save a life by sheer will.

Surrender to the things you can’t control, and drive yourself in the areas you can.

I believe there is a God who loves us. Just like we are. Screwed up. Narrow-minded or opinionated. Amazingly creative and yet limited by self-doubt. Courage and scared in the same moment. Arrogant and insecure in the same sentence.

My daughter and I have spoken recently about what we could do to accept powerlessness with more surrender.

I am comfortable in powerlessness.

God is powerfull when I am powerless.

I am confident that all things are working together for my good.

Angels are working all night so that I can sleep in peace.

I don’t control everything, but I choose to be flexible, this too will work itself out.

If God is for me, who can stand against me?

Even when nothing makes sense, there is a plan to bless me, there is a way through it.

Let go, lay it down. Let God.

Surrender might be directly related to my ability to consider a change in direction.

I dare you: be vulnerable.

Love the life you never wanted.

Be powerless, but trust in God.

Finding faith and happiness after loss

Grief is a difficult road—one you are not meant to travel alone. I have walked that road. I have endured that denial, and anger. I have bargained for a changed result. I have cried those tears. I have a life that I never wanted, but a life that I would not trade. Let me walk with you as you discover what your life can be, finding faith and happiness in spite of your loss.
