GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

Watch my interview with NBC's WFLA Daytime, HERE, thanks to my GoOD Friend, Farron Hipp!

"If God removed every bit of darkness from your life, then you'd still be afraid of the dark next time it came. He's actually making you the kind of person who can have authority over darkness so that whenever you meet it, you rule over it. That's the good news." - Jim Baker 

Every time you start to think, 

stop and Feel. 

And recognize every thought is happening in Him. 

And when that recognition comes,

the thought goes,

and only happiness stands.

Only Love stands.

Only He stands,

and faces everything you thought you had to face alone. 

Be not afraid. 

I Love you,

nik

"Goliath. Many of you have met your giants. You're facing them this year.
For some, it's caused you to want to retreat. It's caused you to grow faint and weary. You're starting to feel as though you can no longer fight them. But God sent me to tell someone today....the giants in front of you are proof that you have stepped into your season of fulfillment! The giants are a sign that you've made it!" -@Godlywaiting

until 'you' break...

until you hear...

and can see through to Him, 

seeing you through. 

There's nothing here but Love. 

Trust It. 

I Love you,

DAY 9 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this:

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times) Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

QUOTES

"A lesson can look a lot like a loss.
A new beginning can look a lot like a setback.
Exploration can look a lot like uncertainty.
Growth can look a lot like incompetence.
Vulnerability can look a lot like weakness
Life isn't what happens to us. Life is how we choose to look at what happens to us."
-Eddie Pinero

This one hits right in the gut, 

right in the 'resistance',

right in the 'self'. 

Your last blindspot. 

"You". 

Repeat after me, 'It's okay if it doesn't happen, God.'

And melt the last block. 

I Love you, 

nik

DAY 8 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen"

QUOTES

"Anything that makes me need God is a blessing

"The paradox is that when resistance is fully accepted, the resistance disappears." -Adyashanti

"The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible."- Ram Dass 

"Jesus does not consider time, since He is eternal. He considers only Love." - St. Therese of Lisieux

It's like it's Opposite Day out here. 

Letting go fills you up. 

This is a controlled fire. 

A necessary fire. 

Can you look around and say, 'this is fine.'?

Can you stop holding your breath?

Can you stop thinking about how to get out?

Can you surrender to God's Fire?

 Can you trust that It has cleared a path that you can't even imagine?

Lined with lilies and roses, jasmine and lavender...

Can you smell them? 

I know you smell smoke, but can you smell The Garden?

Can you feel The Garden?

It's in bloom. 

Can you hear God saying, 'Here I Am."? 

Listen. 

I love you, 

nik

DAY 7 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

QUOTES

You accept the ways of the Deity.

"The Question." - Rumi 

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." -  2 Corinthians 4:18

I brought (y)our Mother Mary with me,

She brought Her Son with Her, through Her. 

I brought Maharajji, Ram Dass, Ramana Maharshi, Rumi. 

All the Angels and Saints. 

Love appearing as these. 

Love appearing as healings.

Relief is here. 

Rejoice. 

I Love you,

DAY 6 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse to men themselves, trusting in their intervention, this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen."

QUOTES

"When one door closes.. An entire HOUSE can open up. TRUST GOD!!" -@realtalkkim 

"What is ahead of you is worth healing for. " - Cinnamongirlll_._ 

"Remember this.... God will take you from crying in your room, to crying as you walk into what you and Him talk about." -Solo

"Trying to carry the weight of holding everything and everybody together is a role God never called us to play." - Lysa Terkeurst

"COME LET'S SPEAK of our souls let's even hide from our ears and eyes
like a rose garden always keep a smile like imagination talk without a sound
like the spirit reigning the world telling the secrets uttering no word
let's get away from all the clever humans who put words in our mouth let's only say what our hearts desire
even our hands and feet sense every inner move let's keep silence
but make our hearts move
the mystery of destiny knows the life of speck after speck of dust
let's tell our story as a particle of dust." - Rumi 

"There is a song deep inside you. You are born to sing a song and you are preparing. You are moving around in the stage with your dresses, but you are forgetting to sing---holding the mike, too, but you are keeping silent. Till that time, you'll be restless---until you can sing that song which you have come on the stage to sing. Doesn't matter if you feel a little out of tune for one minute or two. Go ahead." -  Gurudev H.H SriSri Ravi Shankar

A Prayer to Grow- Hey God, I don't want to be in the same place next year. Introduce me to me and help me see myself the way that You see me. Do whatever You need to do in my life that pushes me closer to You. Heal my heart so that my triggers become my testimonies. Add or remove whoever or whatever You need to in my life. Develop in me the character to not just reach the places that we talk about, but the character to remain in those places. You have permission to do whatever is needed in my life, for Your correction is my protection.
In Jesus' name, Amen." -@thekingofsolomon 

"Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to His word; instead, put it into practice. If you listen to the Word but do not put it into practice, you are like people who look in a mirror and see themselves as they are. They take a good look at themselves and then go away and at once forget what they look like. But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice - you will be blessed by God in what you do." James 1:22-25

The inner, felt-mantra, 'I am not her', or 'I am not him', or 'I am not me' while walking around, engaged in life, clearly and instantly detaches you from being 'her' or 'him'. First it wakes you up to Love, and then AS Love. You go from walking to watching the one that appears to be walking. I go from typing these show notes to watching the one typing... and even that is too much! Remember, we don't know what is happening (yesterday's episode). There's just this appearance. And this one. And this one. And there's Something here, Someone here behind and beyond it all... can you feel Him. Can you stop interrupting Him with your fears and anxieties? Can you hear Him? His Silence speaks volumes. Confirm, "I hear you, God.' And don't stop hearing Him. Even while you hear me, or your kids, or your partner, or your boss, or yourself (!) hear Love, and soon, very soon, you'll see Love.  "All your troubles will melt away." And your whole life will re-arrange itself and become Love, Love, Love. 

I Love you, 

nik

"And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother's arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"What made me love Christ wasn't that all of a sudden - I started figuring out how to do life. What made me love Christ is that when I was at my worst, when I absolutely could not clean myself up - and there was nothing anybody could do with me, right at that moment, Christ said, "I'll take that one. That's the one I want." - Matt Chandler, The Mingling of Souls

DAY 4 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry, Close your eyes and say to me with faith: Thy will be done, You take care of it. I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say You take care of it. I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

"EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT....FIVE minutes before Jesus said,
"Come forth!" Lazarus was dead.
FIVE minutes before Jesus broke the bread, thousands were famished.
FIVE minutes before Jesus said, "Ephphatha!" the man was completely deaf.
FIVE minutes before touching His garment, the bleeding woman was 12-years hopeless.
FIVE minutes before Jesus said, "Talitha cumi," the little girl lay lifeless.
It's darkest before the dawn, and it's bleakest FIVE minutes before the miracle." @rock_solid_ministies_intl

Jesus is saying-- You still don't trust Me. 

You close that body's eyes, and you ask, 'Is Love here, too?'

and then, instead of just noticing that I Am,

you try to become Me.

You try to become a feeling and then call it Me. 

A feeling that you quickly lose,

and then you think you've lost Me. 

Notice that I Am. 

Notice the I Am, 

without keying It up, 

without altering It. 

Before you try to make It more joyful, 

to make It something that It is not, 

just notice that It is. 

Perfect as It is. 

Don't try to make Me better.

Don't try to make Me fit into what you think I Am. 

You pray, 'Jesus you take over', as if you ever had control,

as if you ever had the wheel to give to Me. 

How does It feel knowing I Am in control?

How does It sound?

Affirm: I Am ready to see. 

And then don't say anything after 'see'.

Don't think anything after the word 'see'. 

just Be, 

M(or)e. 

I love you, 

nik

DAY 3 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to me, looks at me and says to me; "You take care of it", then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying: "You take care of it", I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen"

QUOTES 

"Seek Him.
Seek Him first.
Seek Him in the good.
Seek Him in the bad.
Seek Him when life happens.
Seek Him in joy.
Seek Him in sadness.
Seek Him in every moment.
Seek Jesus." - @trustgodbro

"Why do you keep God as 'other?
It is like you are always saying,
'God, stay over there and don't disturb me while I practise to get back to you.' But he is always here! 'Yes, yes! you say, 'I know this intellectually but what is the best mantra to get directly to you?' 'But I am you, he says. 'I am you, you say. "That sounds nice. I am you, I am you, I am you And while you are busy chanting, you miss God who is inseparably here.' That's exactly what we are doing!" - Mooji 

"For the person that needed to see this today: your heart will heal, your tears will dry, your Season will change. Rest tonight knowing the storm will end.' -  @trentshelton / Twitter

"Our attention is not on the Spirit. They call it atma vimukh. Our attention is outside.
At this stage of human awareness, our attention is outside - outside in various things. Now where should our attention go, to evolve for what, to achieve what? Firstly, our attention has now to go towards our Spirit, towards spiritual understanding. This is one thing that has to happen to human beings to begin with, otherwise our attention is outside. We are worried about money, worried about power, worried about this, worried about that, in competition and with all kinds of things going on. But if your attention is turned somehow towards your Spirit, then what happens to you is that you become a power of the Spirit. And the power of the Spirit is the highest power that you can think of."- Nirmala Devi 

You've entered into your Self--

into your Miracle, 

into your Confidence,

into your Jesus. 

Don't lose hope. 

God is about to surprise you for the first time, 

again.  ;) 

I Love you,

DAY 2 PRAYER -Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act. Saying You take care of it.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus."

"When the Spirit makes his abode in a man, he is no longer able to stop praying, because the Spirit never ceases to pray in him. Whether he sleeps or wakes, prayer is never separated from his soul.

"It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves." -St. Teresa of Avila

__________________________________________

You feel like you've been holding your breath your whole life,

but now you can exhale.

You don't have to be released from your old life.

Your old life is not-- 

It's like a dream you woke up from. 

You don't have to let it go, just like you don't let your night dreams go. 

You just wake up, and it's seen for what it is. 

You feel like there's a mountain in front of you,

and I told you that all you have to do is believe that if you tell it to move,

it will--

from here to (t)here. 

Tell it. 

You 'tell it' by feeling Love. 

That's the 'telling'. 

The Love Speaks. 

You think you're choosing to tell it,

but I chose you, 

to know it isn't there. 

We don't move mountains,

we love mountains...

we feel Love where we see moutains, 

and they bow. 

I Love you, 

nik

Surrender Novena Day 1 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus."

QUOTES 

Affirm: "I was chosen by God to thrive on this earth; therefore, whatever I ask according to His will, I have." - Mykesha Mack 

Silence knows how to function but your mind does not trust the Silence." - @SatyaSpeaks 

"Mary, Mother of Sorrows, remains at the foot of the cross. She simply stands there. She does not run away, or try to save herself, or find ways to alleviate her grief. Here is the proof of true compassion: to remain standing beneath the cross To stand there weeping, yet with the faith that knows that, in her son, God transfigures pain and suffering and triumphs over death." - Pope Francis

"When the Lord God, the Holy Spirit, visits us [he says] and comes to us in the fullness of his ineffable goodness, then we have to stop praying and refrain from prayer itself. The praying soul speaks and offers up words, but at the descent of the Holy Spirit it must be utterly silent so that it can clearly hear and truly understand the words of eternal life which the Spirit condescends to bring to it." -St Seraphim of Sarov

"Secure in the knowledge that Jesus the Christ stands behind me and his light shines through me." - Borgia (TV series on Amazon) 

"You may discover that when there is no resistance to totally being in hell, that heaven opens up and samsara reveals its true nature as nirvana. But the catch is, if you are embracing hell as a strategy to get you to heaven, that doesn't work. Only the complete absence of wanting what is to be different in any way pops the imaginary bubble of separation. No one can do this. It is like dying or falling asleep. It is the absence of any doing, the absence of control, the absence of effort, the absence of any concern about what happens. It is a letting go, a dissolving, a relaxing. This letting go begins with letting go even of the need to let go, for the need to fall asleep keeps us awake, just as the imperative to surrender is a form of holding on and seeking control. True surrender is the absence of resistance even to holding on if that is how life is showing up in this moment. Surrender is the absence of trying to surrender."- Joan Tollifson

He's saying- Your Novena, even though it has not begun, 

has ended. 

Your prayers were answered. 

Your life isn't just better, 

it's Mine. 

Pray, 'Jesus you take care of it', 

until you Feel, 

"Jesus, you took care of it, thank you, thank you, thank you"

I Love you, 

nik

************************************

You've paused the mind again.

You're no longer struggling with it. 

You're no longer hearing anything,

but this voice that's pointing to the Silence that's (t)Here,

the possibilities that are (t)Here. 

What you can't even imagine is (t)Here.

And because you're not trying to imagine it, 

because you're not trying to visualize it, 

you'll be living it in no-time. 🔑

This lets It out of you. 

It releases it. 

It was never held back, 

but it's like He had to hold you back until you were ready, 

but even in the holding back, 

he was holding you, 

he was sitting with you, 

praying with you,

choosing you.

Thank you Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything. 

I Love you,

"... it is then that you remember that I am the deliverer of all who put their hope in me; that apart from me there is no help that can do much, no counsel that can be taken with profit, no remedy whose effects can last. But now, when the storm is over and you can breathe freely again, recruit vour strength in the light of my mercies; for I am near, I the Lord, to restore all things not only to their former per-fection, but to pile them high and make them overflow with added graces." - Imitation of Christ 

"You are about to transition from overwhelmed to overflowing." - unknown 

"I know you've come to the end of yourself. I know you have fallen somewhere between tired and exhausted. Delivered yet depressed. Purposed but unproductive. The dawn of a new year doesn't motivate you, instead it leaves a bitter taste of disappointment. Reminding you of all the promises that are still residing over your head that have yet to fall. Full clouds hovering over dry ground. Is the life you want actually meant for you? Is it time to settle? Not yet. The overflow is meant for you. The vision is still coming. Hold on." - @sashaledawn | the encouragist

It beats for you. 

He lives for you. 

He Loves you.

QUOTES

 "My teacher makes life very simple

Every morning I wake up, my ideas and fears are jumbled up.

I feel overwhelmed with doubt and regret.

But if I just pause for a moment and remember,

I have only one thing to do today:

Follow Him.

The rest takes care of itself."- Matthew, The Chosen (series) 

"Eternal God, Goodness itself, whose mercy is incomprehensible to every intellect, whether human or angelic, help me, Your feeble child, to do Your holy will as You make it known to me.  I desire nothing but to fulfill God's desires.  Lord, here is my soul and my body, my mind and my will, my heart and all my love. Direct me according to Your eternal plan. Amen" - St. Faustina 

"The only way to abide as Awareness is to realize "I am Awareness".  The only way to get Home is to realize "I am Home". All the methods and practices of the Progressive Path are the stepping stones of an illusory separate self. The Direct Path is the pathless path. It is to realize a journey of separation has never taken place." - Pat Nolan 

My teacher taught me to pray in this way:
"God, what is it that you want me to know and understand today? What is it you want me to do today?" - Isha Das 

You have come into the light of His Face. 

You are conscious of His Everlasting Arms.

You are conscious of what was hidden. 

It says in the Gospel of Philip that Jesus is His hidden Name.

It's been revealed to you.

Call on It, 

sing It, 

shout It, 

share It. 

"I heard their voices and I treasured their faith in my heart. And I sealed My Name upon their foreheads. For they are free men and they are mine."  -Odes of Solomon, John Davidson

Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo

"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"See thoughts and feelings like a train that enters a station and then leaves; be like the station, not like a passenger." ~ Rupert Spira

"Jesus" is a hidden name; "Christ" is a revealed name. So "Jesus" is not translated, but he's called by his name "Jesus." But the name "Christ" in Syriac is "Messiah," in Greek "Christ, and all the others have it according to their own language. "The Nazarene" reveals what's hidden. Christ has everything within himself, whether human or angel or mystery, and the Father."- Gospel of Philip 

"Take a deep breath, put a hand on your heart and repeat out loud:
"It is safe for me to re-member who I was before I learned to hide." Deep breath. Thinking the world is not ready for your light is most likely your ego's way to rationalize your self repression. The earth has not only been ready for your light... now she demands it. If you think expressing your pain is vulnerable, try expressing your brightness without holding back." - @xavier.dagba

"You will succeed in all you do, and light will shine on your path." - Job 22:28

 You know how when you walk into a Cathedral it's so quiet,

 that the quiet echoes?

 The silence echoes. 

 That's how it is here right now.

 It's as quiet as His tomb, 

 as empty as His tomb.

 Match My empty. 

 Match My Silence.

 Feel His Love there.

 The air you think you're breathing is Love. 

 Love that inhale.

 Love that exhale.

 He loves you.

 You can trust him.

 Tell Him you're scared.

 Tell Him to help you. 

 Pray, 'save me, I need you. This is hard."

 And then linger in the Silence. 

 Listen for Him in the Silence. 

 Tell Him you're listening for Him in the Silence. 

 I feel for Him in and AS the Silence, and I find Him every time.

 I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 8 - Father Ruotolo Dolindo 

Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen

"In fact, Mary is so silent that the evangelists say little about the Mother of God. She is entirely absorbed by contemplation, adoration, and prayer. She hides herself in Her Son; She exists only in Her Son. She disappears in Her Son (.) The attitude of Mary is that of listening. She is completely turned to the word of the Son. Mary does not speak. She simply wants to submit to God like a trusting child. Her fiat is tot a I and joyful. She intends to receive God's will through Jesus." - Robert Cardinal Sarah, The Power of Silence

Isaiah 43

"God's timing might be sooner than you think. Be ready." - Unknown 

"In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." -John 14:1-3 

What you thought was dead, 

look again.

What you thought was impossible, 

He disagreed with you--

feel the Promise of It. 

All you have to do is keep facing the Son, 

and letting these words water you, 

letting your practice work the soil, 

while you face the Son. 

While you feel the blooming, 

the flowering, 

the fruiting, 

the Law of Love. 

It must be. 

Whatever it is... it must be.

Surrender Novena Day 7-Father Ruotolo Dolindo 

I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.

 O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"I Come to Him Running
The Prophet said,
God Most High has said:
When my worshipper's thoughts turn to Me,
there am I with him.
And when he makes mention of Me within himself, I make mention of him within Myself. and when he makes mention of Me in company, I make mention of him in a better company.
Ifhe draw near to Me a hand's breadth, I draw near to him an arm's length; and if he draw near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him the length of both arms wide outstretched;
and if he come to Me walking, I come to him running.
And if he meet Me with sins equivalent to the whole world,
I will greet him with forgiveness equal to it." - The Mishkat Al- Masabih

You're seeing your lack of faith from Faith. 

You're seeing your lack of love from Love. 

Who is seeing?

What is seen?

The eyes report rock, tree, wall, person. 

But My Spirit is seeing Love, Love, Love, Love. 

It's seeing Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. 

It's all His.

That's why we pray, 'take care of it.'

It's His anyway. 

Give it back. 

Give him 'you', 

He'll surprise you.

Surrender Novena Day 6 - Father Ruotolo Dolindo 

"You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse to men themselves, trusting in their intervention, this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

**********************************

"Why do I not call on God? Why do I worry and invent plans?" -Charles Spurgeon

"There is something within you that knows your true destiny, your very reason for being, the very masterpiece that you are in the midst of creating." -@saralandonlife

"Open, open your hearts to the delightful joy of the Lord, and let your love overflow from the heart to the lips, to bring forth fruits to the Lord, living and holy, and to walk with watchfulness in His light.
Rise up and stand straight, you who were once brought low.
You, who were silenced, speak, for your mouth has been opened.
You, who were cast down, be henceforth lifted up,
for the Righteous One has brought you back to life.
For the Right Hand of the Lord is with you, and will be your Helper.
And peace was prepared for you, before your war began.
So hear the Word of Truth,
and receive the Knowledge of the Most High." - Ode 8, Odes of Solomon by John Davidson 

"But me, I’m not giving up. I’m sticking around to see what GOD will do. I’m waiting for God to make things right. I’m counting on God to listen to me." - Micah 7:7

This is how you know God is listening to you right now-

pray the words, 'Jesus, you take over',

and just hear those words.

'Jesus, you take over.'

If you heard only those words inside,

even if there are ambient sounds,

even though you're hearing my voice,

even if there's a car alarm going off outside,

if there are no other words inside, 

no other thoughts in you, but, 'Jesus, you take over',

if your whole being is in agreement, 

meaning no secondary train of thought. 

Not praying, 'Jesus, I surrender myself to you', while thinking about what you need to do as soon as you're done praying.

No, when your whole soul is praying,

'Jesus, you take over', and you hear only that,

the hearing is Him hearing.

It's Him listening.

It's Him answering. 

In truth, it's Him praying. 

It's all Him. 

And that includes you.

Which means you are blessed.

Your prayers have changed the course of your life.

I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 5 - Father Ruotolo Dolindo

"And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother's arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my Love." (pray these words for countless blessings) 

"Prayers win battles. 

Prayer changes things. 

If words have power, imagine a prayer

Talk to God, He misses you." - @betteryouliving 

"Jesus only performed miracles under one condition. From the water turned to win, to the healing of the paralytic, you cannot find a single example of a miracle without this. Of course, every miracle requires faith, but there also had to be one circumstance present in the persons life. Desperation. So if you feel like the situation is hopeless, if you feel too far gone, if you don't feel worthy, you are primed for a miracle! His heart is one of a Father in search of a prodigal child, a shepherd in search of a lost sheep, a physician in search of the sick, and a Savior who has come not for the righteous, but the sinners." - @dudewithgoodnews

"Until now you have not asked for anything in My Name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."- John 16:24 

You may say My Name at the end of your prayers,

throughout your prayers, 

but you don't feel It.  

Up until now, It's just been a word to you. 

Up until now, you've asked for nothing in My Name. 

You know what that means?

All of these Graces, all of these Mercies that I am raining down upon you constantly,

you will see them now.

Feel Me now.

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” - Bob Marley

*********************************

That's the cure for anxiety--

knowing where to place your Faith.

Not out here.

There is no out here.

Put it on (t)His Feeling,

that's always here when you turn to It.

Place it in the Silence that never changes.

They're like different facets on this Christ diamond--

Silence, Stillness, Love, Faith, Charity, Gratitude, Surrender.

"Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything."

Don't start any task today without (t)His prayer. 

There's nothing here but this prayer. 

I love you,

Surrender Novena #2 (All nine days in one place!)

Jesus on the Mainline, Krishna Das

Surrender Novena Day 4 - Father Ruotolo Dolindo 

"You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: "Thy will be done, You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say "You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

 Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

 Amen"

"The world tells you many lies about who you are, and you simply have to be realistic enough to remind yourself of this. Every time you feel hurt, offended, or rejected, you have to dare to say to yourself: 'These feelings, strong as they may be, are not telling me the truth about myself. The truth, even though I cannot feel it right now, is that I am the chosen child of God, precious in God's eyes, called the Beloved from all eternity, and held safe in an everlasting belief." II Henri Nouwen

"Once you find peace within yourself, you can find peace in the world.
If you have equality within yourself, you will see equality in all lives.
If you have purity in yourself, you will see purity in all lives.
If you have love in yourself, you will see love in all lives.
Whatever is in your heart is what you will see
in the faces of others.
When you look at them, you will see only your own reflection.
Whatever fault you see in them really lies within you.
When vou look at others,
you only see your own reflection, not what is truly there.
So correct yourself,
and then you will see all lives as one.
This is what Jesus (AS), Moses (AS), and Muhammad (Sal.) told us."
-Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
Questions of Life-Answers of Wisdom, Volume One, pp. 181-182

"There is no greater fortune than peace.
There is no greater force than peace." -Ramana Maharshi.

'I' didn't bring you here to leave you.

Do you trust that?

Do you trust Me?

Then show me. 

Relax enough to feel Me. 

That Feeling IS My Name. 

Call It.

"Become conscious of Being Conscious.  Eventually, the false 'I' will vanish, leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent 'I', Self-Consciousness Itself." - Ramana Maharshi

******

I call It Jesus. 

I call It Christ. 

I call It Love, still. 

Only Love is here.

But when I say, 'Only Jesus is here',

there is a dimension of feeling that has yet to be experienced. 

It feels more personal.

It makes me take things less personally.

It makes me more humble.

I live in a posture of bowing,

of worshiping everything,

of seeing Him everywhere. 

Which is why one prayer is not better than another one.

One religion is not better than another.

Love is Love,

and it does not belong to any one religion.

This body goes into a Catholic church daily and serves as often as possible.

It receives the Eucharist as often as possible.

But the Spirit,

this Awareness, that's Here, 

the church is in It,

the temples,

the ashrams are all in Here.

I can't fit in them.

Nikki goes to them.

She likes to visit them,

but I can't fit in any box.

I Am That, and You are That.

And every time you remember that,

"All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, is with you." - 2 Corinthians 13-14

I Love you, 

nik

Surrender Novena #1 (All nine days in one place!)

Surrender Novena #2 (All nine days in one place!)

Day 3- Surrender Novena 

How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to me, looks at me and says to me; "You take care of it", then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying: "You take care of it", I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

 Amen

"Once (people] let go of the reins and just kind of put their trust in the divine, in God - He will basically change your entire life the way He did mine."
Jonathan Roumie

"There are times when the burden of need and our own limitations might tempt us to become discouraged. But precisely then we are helped by the knowledge that, in the end, we are only instruments in the Lord's hands; and this knowledge frees us from the presumption of thinking that we alone are personally responsible for building a better world. In all humility we will do what we can, and in all humility we will entrust the rest to the Lord. It is God who governs the world, not we. We offer him our service only to the extent that we can, and for as long as he grants us the strength. To do all we can with what strength we have, however, is the task which keeps the good servant of Jesus Christ always at work:
"The love of Christ urges us on" (2 Cor 5:14). - Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love: Deus Caritas Est

"The Light you give off did not come from a pelvis. Your features did not begin in semen. Don't try to hide inside anger, radiance that cannot be hidden." - Rumi 

"People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway."
-Inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta

'Prayer is the natural outgushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine-branch without any conscious effort on the part of the branch, but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds, and blossoms, and fruits out of souls abiding in Jesus'
-Charles Spurgeon

Slow down today. 

That's the assignment.

Every time you catch yourself going top speed to nowhere, 

STOP and slow down. 

And know that 'nowhere' will look like 'somewhere'...

it will look like your office, or your home, or your room, 

whatever it is,

stop in the midst of that stride,

and slow down.

Stop and listen for The Feeling. 

Stop and listen for The Feeling. 

Stop and listen for The Feeling. 

And then continue, 

slowly, 

very mindful, 

very peaceful,

very God-like. 

You're closer than you think.  (When you stop thinking, you're (t)here.)

I Love you,

Surrender Novena #1 (All nine days in one place!)

Surrender Novena #2 (All nine days in one place!)

"Dear Jesus, please slow me down so I can better hear your voice." - @Living_Christian 

DAY 2 Surrender Novena - Father Ruotolo Dolindo 

Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act. Saying You take care of it.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen 

September Affirmations:
I release my need to control outcomes.
I am thankful for all that has come.
I am grateful for all that has left.
Whatever had to go was not mine.
1 find beauty and value in change.
My home is within me, wherever I am.
My struggles refine, not define, me.
The universe conspires in my favor.
I trust in the timing of my life.
Uncertainty is a friend, not a threat.
I am going to get exactly what I want.
I choose peace over worry in this moment.- @wetheurban 

A lot can happen in a month.
Trust God." - @trustodbro 

"If you can win over your mind, you an win over the whole world." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 

"With every ending you didn't think you wanted, comes the beginning you didn't know you needed." - Eddie

Jesus is saying, "Stop running. Turn around, and come face to Face with Me. This Silence is My Face. It is My Ear. It is My Hand. Take It."

Take up your prayer beads, 

and invite Him into your heart. 

Feel Him praying within you. 

Feel your transitioned loved ones, 

and all the Saints, 

praying beside you, 

before you, 

for you. 

I am praying with and for you, too. 

Grace is here. 

The rest is here. 

The Promise is here. 

Stay at His Feet like your life depends on it. 

Which means, hear and feel the Silence, like your life depends on it. 

Because your best life does!

I Love you,

"September of Divine Approvals" - @fr_james_a

"God, my Father, I thank you for all that you are, and all that you do for me through your son Jesus Christ. I praise you for my life, for your mercy and for your Eucharist. In Jesus' name, Father, I place myself entirely in your Heart. I surrender to you my whole self, my heart, my mind, my memory, my imagination, my will, my emotions, my passions, my body, my sexuality, my desire for human approval, my weaknesses, my desires, my sins.
I surrender every person in my life to you. I surrender every situation in my life to you. I surrender every relationship I am in to you. I surrender every concern I have to you. I surrender every fear I have to you. I surrender every doubt I have to you. I surrender all confusion I have to you. I surrender all sadness I am experiencing in my heart to you. I surrender all my wounds to you. I surrender all anxiety and worry I have to you. I surrender all that deceives me in my heart to you. I trust you to care for me and others in a perfectly loving way.
As I have emptied myself, and surrendered everything to you, I ask you now, Father, to fill me with your Holy Spirit and all the gifts and fruits of your Spirit. Holy Spirit you are the source of love, hope, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, tenderness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. Purify my desires. Help me to open my heart to you. Help me to become perfectly receptive as a pure child. Help me to believe in your love for me. Help me to hope in your love. Help me to receive from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus all grace and virtues necessary for me to become the person you created me to be. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your son, God Almighty Father.
O Most Holy Immaculate Virgin Mary. I entrust this prayer to your Heart, and ask you to press it to your wounded heart and intercede for me to your Son Jesus. Please help me to be as you are, a perfect disciple, an obedient servant, a true child of God. Amen." - St Vincent's Church Bulleitn 

"People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray." -Proverbs 10:17

"Persistent pain is usually the indication that we have become trapped in a life too small for our true nature."- Michael Meade

"In the past, you worried a lot about where you would be at this point in your life.
How could things possibly work out? And yet, here you are. You don't quite have it all panned out (which is a good thing), but you have a strong foundation to build from, and you're only a shift or two away from making your dreams your reality. As you project the vision of your life going forward, feel free to leave the worry behind. It's not needed where we're headed. Move with trust. Mirror good energy to the things that are out of your control, and use your highest version to meet life where it is." - @sourcemessages 

"Nothing is sweeter than love; nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more generous, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in Heaven or on earth; for love proceeds from God and cannot rest but in God above all things created." -Thomas A Kempis, p. 87

"I was the most terrifying thing I've ever had to overcome." - @_awaken_one_

Join me Monday for another 9-Day Prayer Challenge! 🚀

"Carry Me"...

That's what Mother Mary heard. 

That's what My Mother hears.

That's why She appears to still carry Me, 

when She appears.

Carry Me,

so that I may carry you,

to where you know you already are."

___________________________________________

We're going to keep surrendering. 

We're going to do another nine-day Surrender Novena (starting Monday)!

Tell a friend to pray with, 

and DM or email me to let me know you're READY! 

Also, keep a running note in your phone to remind yourself of everything you are thankful for.

Keep reminding yourself that you're HERE, and let everything on that list be evidence that 'there' is 'HERE' already.

Pray for your 'enemies' (Matthew 5:44). Try that tonight in preparation for our Novena.

Whoever wronged you this week last year, ten years ago, 20 years ago,

pray for them and their family that they may be healthy and wealthy, 

that they may find and be this Love. 

Change it up.

Do what you haven't done, 

and then watch. 

And be astonished. 

"Let him who seeks cease not to seek until he finds: when he finds he will be astonished; and when he is astonished he will wonder, and will reign over the universe!" - Gospel of Thomas

I love you!

And then you will rush to prove Me,

to bring Me to the world. 

And I will help you. 

But right now I just need you to practice My Presence.

"The question we all have to ask is: Am I better off now than the last time I looked at my cell phone?" - Ira Rose 

"Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. I, wisdom, dwell in prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just. ... The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. ... Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth.  When he established the heavens, I was there. ... He who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord; but he who misses me injures himself; all who hate me love death." - Proverbs 8:10-9:1 (see also Wis 7:7-14)   <<<-- Mother Mary 

"Love makes the heart leap and dance. Love makes it exult and be
festive. Love makes it sing and be silent as it pleases. Love grants it rest
and enables it to act. Love possesses it and gives it everything. Loves
takes it over completely and dwells in it. But I am unable to say more
because if I wished to relate all the effects that my heart experiences in
the act of going to Holy Communion and also at other times, I would
never finish saying everything. It is sufficient to say that communion is
a.. mansion of love itself." -St. Veronica Giuliani

so will the relationships tied to that identity.

"Why are you getting all worked up?
Leave your worries to me and everything will calm down. I'm telling you, in all honesty, that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect you desire and resolves even the most tangled situations.
Surrendering yourself." - Father Dolindo Ruotolo

"My dear one,

You are not an inconvenience to my time.
You are the purpose of it.
I created time so that you may understand longing.
I am outside of it, but I have placed you within it.
Not to punish you.
But to pursue you.
So that you may know how long I am willing to wait for your presence.
My love is patient.
Even when your thoughts are frantic.
My love is kind.
Even when you haven't invited me into your mind.
When I am with you, I am in no hurry.
Time bends to my will and my will is you and I together.
My love cannot be hurried.
My patience cannot become weary.
And my jealousy cannot become weak.
I finish all that I start.
You are not on the back burner of my mind.

You are fixation of my gaze.
I am not panicked by your process.
I am the fulfillment of it.
You are never late in my presence
Because if you are in my presence, there is no where else you need to be.
I am on the mountain of your faith and in the valley of your doubt.
May the tears I cry for you nurture your weary soul.
May they be a river or life for your valley of dry bones.
I am not intimidated by the death you have surrounded yourself with.
It too bows before me.
And if you take my hand,
It bows before you as well.
Death cannot keep us separated.
And your performance cannot bring us together.
There is blood for it.
Blood you need not shed.
Tears you need not cry.
Pain you need not feel.
But if you do,

I'll be there, too." - @anthonygurrola

It's done

You're done,

and so Am I.

I Am your place of safety.

Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"The Name of the LORD is a strong fortress, 

the godly run to Him,

and are safe. - Proverbs 18:10

"There are days when you give it to God and it still hurts. And you are still doing fine." - Noelle Gallo 

"God's plan over mine. Jeremiah 29:11" - @betteryouliving

The state of your inner being as well as your mental health has significantly improved. You went through so much. You dealt with a lot. As a result, much of that toxicity remained within you as emotional anchors to stress and pain. We hope you realize how much of that you released, and replaced it with harmony and balance. While there's still room for improvement, recognize all you overcame at this moment. This inner boost is spilling over into your outer world. Eventually, your environment will reflect all the work you've put in." - @SourceMessages

We live in Grace,

while we wait for Grace. 

We live in God, 

work in God, 

Love in God. 

(T)here's only God. 

No 'we'. 

Hi Love. 

His Work. 

His Life. 

Trust Him with It. 

I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 8 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

The Emergency Novena-- Memorare:
"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy Mercy, hear and answer me. Amen"

'Mother Teresa was flooded with prayer requests, and she had many intentions that she wanted to send up quickly to Our Lady. Her solution? Pray a novena of Memorares. Mother Teresa would pray nine Memorares in a row - and then she immediately added a tenth in thanksgiving for graces received. I can't remember where I first heard about the Emergency Novena, but the graces I have received each time I've prayed it have been tangible and immediate." - Maura Roan McKeegan, Catholic Exchange

Affirm: "I don't need anything, I need Him."

 And watch as that stomach relaxes.

Those shoulders come down an inch or two,

a smile returns to your face.

The song returns to your lips,

to your tongue.

The Worship is back.

Real life is back, without fear,

that spirit that He didn't give you.

The miracle happens every time you wake up to Love.

Every time you wake up to Him, as Him.

Looking with His eyes,

working with His hands.

Right now you're hearing with His ears.

That's why you feel how you feel.

You hear me. 

And you KNOW,

you don't believe,

you know,

and you're ready.

And it's time.

"But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus--the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God." -Acts of the Apostles 20:24 NLT

His Grace is upon you.

Move today like you can feel It.

That means you move with a smile.

You move more slowly,

you move more rhythmically,

like you're dancing with Him.

He loves you.

I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 7- Father Dolindo 

I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen

"Move like everything is gonna workout... because it is." - @changeyourperception

"I would have you become more frequently aware of me, recognizing my holy presence in all of your daily affairs. I am the all of you, all that is real and eternal.
Why do you seek the solution of your problems outside of yourself when you will find the Father's love and understanding within?
I wait to share your every thought and desire, though I must remain silent and apart until you recognize My presence. On occasion I call gently hoping that you will hear and answer My voice.
When you have found the safe shelter in
Me, you will lose all thoughts of fear. All the outer circumstances of your life will be a true reflection of that perfection dwelling within you.
Then will you live a life of security among the passing things of the world. Then we shall walk and talk untouched by the changes of time and limitation." - Eva Bell Werber 

"How truly important it is to follow the energy and to follow the light and to remember that it is all your energy, it is all your light." - Sarah Landon 

"When the Lord makes us promise. He can only guide us in ways that are completely different from ours...We must have the calmness to follow Him, and the constanc to wait for Him" (Genesis 37, Commentary) Like Abraham led to unknown lands, Joseph sold by his brothers into slavery, we too must yield our narrow visions to God's supreme Wisdom guiding all things." -Father Dolindo 

"I tell you, keep on asking, and it will be given to you. Keep on searching, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened." - Jesus Christ

Keep remembering that I Am your Daily Bread, 

and you'll never hunger again. 

You'll never fear again.

You'll rest, finally,

because you trust that I will never leave you.

I've never left you. 

And just as it worked out last time, 

it's working out this time. 

I know you think you're almost out of time,

but remember, there is no time where I am.

I Am before I was. 

I Am on the cross. 

I Am resurrected. 

I Am before you.

I Am after you.

Right now, I Am for you.

You have work to do,

but it won't be what you think it is.

You have hearts to change.

But I'll be right there with you.

I love you.

I never stop talking to you.

DAY 6 PRAYER - Father Dolindo 

"You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse to men themselves, trusting in their intervention, this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"My daughter, do you think you have written enough about My mercy? What you have written is but a drop compared to the ocean.
I am Love and Mercy itself. There is no misery that could be a match for My mercy, neither will misery exhaust it, because as it is being granted - it increases. The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I myself take care of it". -Diary 1273, St. Faustina

"24 But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus--the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God." - Acts of the Apostles 

"God is good, all good, only good."
Francis of Assisi

"You either quit or keep going. They both hurt. Read that again." - @goatmotivated 

"Whatever you are trying to control, controls you." - @thehamsterwheelisnotmotorized 

"If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside." -Ramana Maharshi

"I read something about how someone was asking their therapist why all of the sudden they got intensely triggered when they felt like they were almost completely healed from that thing, and the therapist responded
everything screams when it dies.
And that made sense to a lot of things." - @self.loveoasis

Be not afraid.

Your carpenter season is ending. 

Listen for the Calling. 

Step into your calling.

God is saying- 

"For I know full well the plans I have for you,

plans for your welfare and not for your misfortune,

plans that will offer you a future filled with hope.

When you call out to Me and come forth and pray to Me, 

I will listen to you.

When you search for Me,

you will find Me.

When you seek Me with all your heart,

I will allow you to discover Me.

I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you. 

 And I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile." -Jeremiah, Chapter 29, verses 11-14

"...Ask of Him grace to be contented and quiet in the place He has assigned thee upon this earth, and remember that the conditions of human life are all by His disposal: so that to wish to alter them is to desire the overthrow of the social order, which after all is God's own work." - Cardinal Alexis-Henri-Marie Lépicier

Surrender Novena Day 5 - Father Don Dolindo Ruotolo 

And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother's arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"Let your ear lead you to your lover." - Rumi

"Moses, the inner light of revelation, lit up the top of Sinai, but the mountain could not hold that light." - Rumi 

"And sometimes silence is the only way that you can bloom. When you're hidden away from all of the things that could corrupt your growth while the Lord waters you. What a beautiful process. The pain of growing is quite unbearable at times, but it won't compare to the blessings that come after. Silence is hard. The darkness is confusing, but the king of the world is in control. It's really going to be okay."
@Godlywaiting

"Moses waited a long time for God to speak to him, and you will find that you may have to wait a long time, too. But after you once hear the still small voice, it comes more frequently and then eventually it comes at will: You have only to close your eyes, wait a sec-ond, and whatever is necessary comes into your conscious awareness. From the moment that Moses made himself a servant of God, he was God-led, God-directed, God-sus-tained, God-fed; and then, through Moses. God could act to save the Hebrew people."- Joel Goldsmith 

I had an encounter yesterday. That resulted in me altogether scrapping the episode I recorded for today and recording this one instead. 

"I want to cry.

I want to scream.

I want to dance.

And it's not so much of an answered prayer.

It's like He's saying,

"I've always been taking care of everything;

you just recognize it now."  -A listener speaking of what happened after she surrendered her employment situation to Jesus 

__________________________________________

Talk to Me, 

give Me your love like it's food and I'm hungry.

Give me your love like it's water, and I thirst.

Like it's only your love, only your light I need.

That's how important it is for you to feel Me,

so you can be blessed.

Not later,

not months from now.

Now.

I don't need time.

I stop time,

just like I've stopped your thoughts.

Parted them.

Listen. 

I've taken over them.

I've taken over.

Affirm: Jesus has taken over.

"Surrender Novena Day 4- Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: "Thy will be done, You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say "You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"The Holy Spirit is raining down, pouring down, but you have your umbrella up." - Rachel of God (Clearwater)

"Sorrow comes in order to lead you to happiness." - Anandamayi Ma

"When it hurts, pray."- @__soulverses

Affirm: "There is nothing to heal, only God to reveal."  (Ernest Holmes)

Then light a candle and pray to God, knowing there's only God-- 

"O Blessed Lord, and my beloved Mother, Mary, 

accept this burning candle as a sign of my faith and love for you.

Like this candle, I am ready to be used in Your service,

without asking why and to what purpose.

Even as this candle,

I wish to stand in Your presence to be consumed in the light and warmth of Your love.

Please hear my prayer and,

if it is Your will,

grant my petition.

Above all,

make me loyal and faithful to You in all circumstances of my life.

AMEN"

Every time I light a candle,

I feel like I'm lighting myself. 

I can feel my halo. 

I can feel a fire around my heart.

I can feel the fire in your spirit.

Don't let anyone put it out today. 

Stay focused. 

Stay surrendered by saying, 

"Jesus, you take care of it."

And watch Him do it!

Won't He do it?! 

Love did it. 

I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 3 - Father Dolindo  

"How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to me, looks at me and says to me; "You take care of it", then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying: "You take care of it", I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"GOD DID IT. That's MY STORY. God has done it." - @Angelittle

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden." - Matthew 5:14

There's softness about us, 

that is very powerful. 

You can hear It in my voice,

You don't get to hide anymore.

Burn,

Shine.  

Glow. 

Lead. The. Way.

Day 1

"Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Concluding prayer: Mother, I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you
I always want to belong
completely to Jesus." -Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo 

"If Jesus wouldn't say it to you, you shouldn't say it to yourself." - @Hannahlubutler

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue." - Proverbs 18:21 

"A word for someone.. your life.. your life is about to be unrecognizable. Where God is taking you is going to shock everyone. There is a whole new you that is about to emerge from the dark and broken places. It's time to say goodbye to that old cocoon. You can no longer be there. It's time to fly, child of God. It's time to take hold of the land and all the glory that comes with it." -@Godlywaiting

"The more you slow down the faster you go." - @jonhillstead

"What a beautiful thing to know that if you're still breathing, God is still working. That the God who made you has great plans for you and that He isn't done with you." - @becoming__better

View your mind like traffic that has nothing to do with you. Traffic that's on the other side of the road.  The kind of traffic that makes you say, 'whooo! Glad I'm not going that way!"  Don't get involved with it.  You're not stuck in it.  You're simply watching it.

Every time a thought approaches, ask yourself, 'to whom does this thought come?' And pause... listen.  The answer is the silence.  The mind stops and leaves you in the remembrance, in the recognition that you were never out of Love... you weren't living in the outskirts of the Kingdom.  YOU ARE THE KINGDOM.  You're Home, in the City of God. And as long as you're feeling Love inside of you, you'll be consciously aware of Love manifest all around you... as you.

I Love you,
Nik

"To whom does this thought come?" 
- Ramana Maharshi

"See what you're doing now.  You're thinking.  That spoils it.  Learn to stay without thought. Even if for a few seconds.  It's hard isn't it?  This is the reason you have to ask yourself, 'To whom do these thoughts come?'  It's only a modality to cause you to stop thinking."
-Robert Adams

"You cannot see anyone, the face of God is all that shines.  The Soul of God looks out through all eyes." 
- Joel Goldsmith 

"None but ourselves can free our minds." 
-Bob Marley

Never hold a thought, never drop the Thread.

Watch and listen to your mind.  Notice when it's doing what it does.  Notice its judgements, criticisms, projections, conclusions.  Don't react. Don't respond. Don't try to stop them.  Just notice.  And then notice what else is present.  Listen to the Silence that the thoughts are coming and going in.  Feel that Silence... Joy, Love... the Bliss of the Self.  When you feel this Bliss, It puts the thoughts on transparency mode (like your noise canceling headphones).  Now you're no longer hypnotized by thinking... It's not the only thing you can hear.  Now you can also hear the Silence!  You can feel the Thread.  And It feels good. Don't drop It.

I love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

Ram Dass' Roommate Story from 'Changing Lenses'

"If you would like to meet your roommate, just try to sit inside yourself for a while in complete solitude and silence. You have the right; it’s your inner domain. But instead of finding silence, you’re going to listen to incessant chatter: “Why am I doing this? I have more important things to do. This is a waste of time. There’s nobody in here but me. What’s this all about?”

Right on cue, there’s your roommate. You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won’t cooperate. And it’s not just when you try to be quiet. It has something to say about everything you look at: “I like it. I don’t like it. This is good. That’s bad.” It just talks and talks. You don’t generally notice because you don’t step back from it. You’re so close that you don’t realize that you’re actually hypnotized into listening to it. Basically, you’re not alone in there. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is you, the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intentions; and the other is that which you watch. The problem is, the part that you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, the peace and serenity would be the nicest vacation you’ve ever had."
-Singer, Michael A.. The Untethered Soul (p. 17)

You: "Jesus, you take care of it... take care of everything."

Jesus: "Say those words again, but this time like you're speaking them to someone in the room.

I don't want dead words. 

Vain repetitions--

meaning words without Love,

words that feel like they're going into an abyss.

You are My heart,

and hearts feel,

hearts Love.

And that is My Will for you--

to keep Me warm with (y)our Love, 

to keep Me company, 

and to recognize that I Am your only company.

Keep trusting and saying, "Jesus, you take care of it." 

And know that I have. "

I Love you,

"...Lead a life worthy of your calling for you have been called by God." - Ephesians 4:1

"You put your plans ahead of God's plans for you that's why you have anxiety."
-St. Paisios

"I go on carrying my Cross for love of you, and you follow me for love of me. You hesitate to carry the cross because your nature seeks joy But how can you have joy if you don't carry the cross?
Many souls would like to choose their own crosses and to make them light. When they do this by themselves, their crosses become much heavier instead, causing great distress and discouragement.
Unite yourself to the Divine Will and bear your daily crosses with patience, courage, and submission. Trust in me, for I am your Simon of Cyrene. I will help you. What good are impatience and rebellion? Why must you seek your will in everything, when this can only cause you problems? Live with patience, and you shall live in peace.
I give you my blessing." - Father Ruotolo Dolindo, Meditations on the Rosary

God is speaking to you. 

He's always speaking to you. 

But the sound of His Voice is silence,

and if you could learn to translate It, 

to understand It, 

you'd hear Him saying,

"Surrender.

Surrender.

Surrender."

Like a mantra. 

(T)His Silence is a mantra, 

reminding you of your purpose in every moment--

to surrender. 

You can't just surrender once. 

That's not how it works. 

You have to surrender in every moment. 

When you turn to God, 

it's your turn, 

your time, 

you are His.

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name;

you are mine." - Isaiah 43:1

And you say, 

"Oh my Jesus, 

I surrender myself to you,

take care of everything."

And you trust in those words,

until they become an experience,

until He shows that He can be trusted with EVERYTHING. 

You don't have to hold it all together, 

He will. 

Because He Is. 

I Love you

I Love you

right next to the panic.

And you breathe into the panic,

the way you would breathe into labor pains,

and you give birth to God.

You give birth to Love in your world,

into your problems,

into your relationships,

into your business,

into that office.

You have to learn to remain calm.

You have to learn that everything is okay,

even when it looks like it's not.

You have to remember to say,

'Jesus, you take care of it, 

I surrender myself to you, 

take care of everything, 

I love you.'

And then feel His Love. 

He Loves you. 

I know you've heard that

you've read that

you may even believe It, 

but do you feel It?

You HAVE to feel It.

And then things HAVE to change.

 I love you, I love you, I love you,

There's no one that was more humble than He was. And so I have to remember that everything that I have is because of Him -- everything that I went through was to get to this point where I surrendered to Him." -Jonathan Roumie 

"I've found that surrender leads to salvation in every way possible. Your self-reliance won't cure you; your willpower won't save you. Your independence will not deliver you from that which seeks to destroy your faith in God, erode your hope in Christ or corrode your love for the Holy Spirit and humanity itself" - Jonathan Roumie 

"There is a place right before surrender... where I just didn't know what else to do." - @its.all.god.dude 

If you want to start another 9 Day Prayer Challenge (Surrender Novena), email me and let me know! Also, let me know what your experience was like this time! Nikki@curlynikki.com 

People think prayer is less than meditation, 

that it's dualistic.

But we pray,

seemingly in a dualistic way,

knowing there's only One here,

knowing that the moment the prayer is offered,

it is this Silence,

our Self,

that is receiving it,

that is hearing it.

There is no delay,

no journey the words have to take.

It's all Here. 

It's all Now. 

It's all Love,

constant Worship. 

Only Worship is here,

only Love is here. 

I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Ruotolo 

"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this:

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

 Amen"

********************************

"Surrender and rest are the keys to unlock your end of the year breakthrough. In my quiet place with the Lord, he said, "You no longer have to fight it.
Surrender and rest is the key to receive in this season and in this moment." Rest! Surrender.
It has already shifted in the spirit, but it's about to break forth in the natural."-
@Godlywaiting

"The joke is even the surrendering is not in your control. Why? Because so long as there is an individual who says " surrender" there is a surrenderer, an individual ego... What I'm saying is that even the surrendering is not in your hands." -Ramesh Balsekar

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu

"Behind every thought, there is thoughtlessness; have you witnessed that stillness?
Behind every noise, there is a voice whispering in silence; have you observed it?
Behind every form, there is formlessness; have you become aware of it?
Behind everything manifested, there is unmanifested; are we able to observe it?
Behind every being. there is non- being: have you become mindful of it?
Behind this addiction for certainty, there is uncertainty; have you surrendered to it?"
-Ken J

"You've been hard on yourself
for a really long time now.
It's good to be motivated, but not at the expense of constant pressure that consistently has you unimpressed with yourself. Now is the time to feed into treating yourself with care. Find ways to relax your body. Stretch. Release the buildup. Pamper yourself. Create an environment that inspires you to be at peace with where you are. Mantra:
"Where I am, is where I need to be."
Alignment comes before action." - @SourceMessages

God is saying- 

When I tell you to rest,

it means to keep busy about life,

but keep quiet inside,

keep vigil inside...

don't back talk, judge, doubt, narrate or try to figure out what I Am doing, 

what I did in the beginning.

Don't try to get out in front of Me.

Just listen for the next direction.

For the next step.

And you’ll begin to see that it is always to Love more.

To feel Love again.

Which means you’re (in) My will again.

My Will for you is to be successful.

And you are successful the moment you remember Love. 

I Love you ❤️‍🔥

The Light of God broke through the moment you took the focus off of yourself, 

and placed it on God.

The moment you stopped stopping, 

and kept feeling Love, 

kept affirming- 

"I have resources the world knows not of.

The fish I need will be sent to my nets. 

I am healing, and I am healed. 

Everything I need is here, because I feel Him here."

If you take nothing else from what is shared daily, 

take this- 

how you feel while listening, 

is what you must continue to feel while living. 

You are to Love more. 

I Love you,

The Surrender Novena Day 8 - Father Ruotolo 

"Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say, “You take care of it,” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you, and guide you. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"Pain that brings you closer to God will always be better than comfort that keeps you away from Him." - unknown

"Any of our supply channels in this-world are subject to change, but if we are always Grateful for our sufficiency and continue to keep our focus on God, we are already in the Listening mode when a change happens. The Christ Knows where our sufficiency is-Be still and Listen-we may have all we need right beside us, where we didn't think of looking. The fish we need will be sent to our nets." - Al Denninger, the Spiritual Source of Supply

"If you want to get warm
you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water.
If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them." -C. S. Lewis

John 4:32-34 

"If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." - John 15:4-9

This is when the miracles start--

when you remember there's only Him. 

That's when the solutions show up,

when the healings show up,

when you know there's no one here to be healed,

no bones to be broken,

no bank account to be empty,

no internet,

no phone,

no world.

And you remain as This.

Silence.

Stillness.

The Fullness of Nothingness. 

Even for just a moment, 

and then from that Womb,

everything comes.

Whatever it is,

whatever has got you worried, 

stop thinking about it.

You're perpetuating it.

Stop thinking about it.

When you're tempted to think about it,

turn to Him and say, 'What do you think about it?'

And He'll give you how He FEELS about it...

Pause and Feel. 

Pause and Love.

:) 

You're feeling how He feels about it right now.

This Love is how He feels, always. 

There's nothing to worry about. 

Your covered.

It's covered.

"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." - 1 Peter 2:9 ESV

Surrender Novena Day 7 

"I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen" - Father Ruotolo

"Become conscious of Being Conscious. Eventually, the false I will vanish, leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent I, Self Consciousness itself." -Ramana Maharshi

"Don't Think Less of Yourself, But Think of Yourself Less"- Sacinandana Swami 

"It is not a question of whether there is a God, apart from you, but more whether there is a 'you' apart from God."- Arthur Osborne

"The ego prayed to God and listened for a response.
There was no response but silence. The ego thought,
"God doesn't exist."
In desperation, the ego prayed again and listened to the silence. And it was revealed - the ego doesn't exist." -Pat Nolan

"It has long been taken for granted that the individual exists and that God does not exist. Eventually, you realize that the individual is not real and that there is nothing but God." - Ramana Maharshi

"Your identification of being somebody doesn't let you truly relax and it limits your domain." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I trust you and I know you have placed me here but I am still finding it hard.
It's hard adjusting, it's hard to know what to do next, and it's hard to feel outside of my comfort zone every single day. I ask, Lord, that you would provide what I need. I pray you would be my comfort when I feel alone and it's painful. I pray that you would help me look for and find the blessings and joy you are providing instead of being consumed with all that is so difficult about this. Lord, please guide me to the people, places, and positions that you have prepared for me and help me to trust in your goodness as I wait.
In Jesus' name,
Amen" -@proverbs31ministries

"Hold on. Stay Strong. Trust God." - @Bible_verses_kj on IG

"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,

whose trust is the Lord.

They shall be like a tree planted by water,

sending out its roots by the stream.

It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green." - Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed are those whose trust IS the Love ❤️

He's already there.

It's already done.

It's like your prayer is the past.

He's already answered you.

As soon as you become aware of the prayer that is seemingly needed in the moment, 

from this moment on, 

you will smile and simply say, 'Thank you, God.'

It's like the Light comes on in the middle of that needy prayer, 

and you smile, 

and thank Him. 

It is finished. 

Why worry?

Float on 'em! ;) 

I love you,

Surrender Novena Day 6

"You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse – to men themselves, trusting in their intervention, – this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen" - Father Ruotolo 

******************

"When you pray to God, do not make a list of the things you want, as you do for the supermarket. Leave your shopping list behind. Be alone, be hungry, and be awake. Take these three kinds of attentiveness with you and pray only to God.
Keep God within your inner heart, be within God, and pray. Then all the forces ruling from within will leave you. In that state, the lone treasure becomes one with the Lone Treasure, and that is true worship."-M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

"I and the Father are one." - John 10:30 

"The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive...Let that which He has ordained from all ages happen to me." - St. Faustina Diary, 386

"When you pray, you only have to ask for two things: You should ask for the light to see the will of God, and you have to ask for the courage to be able to do the will of God."
-Venerable Msgr. Aloysius Schwartz

"Clinging to money is a lack of trust in God." - Maharajji, Neem Karoli Baba 

"We are in a worry culture. Every week what you stress about will shift to the next big thing If you choose to be ordinary, but you can choose to be different. When the situation arises, respond with, I don't know, but God does, and somehow this will all work out. Worry is a choice. Trust is the antidote. Choose to be different. The reward is peace."- Grace Yasmine

"If you thank your mind, it will relax.
If you thank your heart, it will open.
If you thank your past, it will integrate. If you thank your symptoms, they will heal. If you thank your shadow, it will vanish. If you thank your life, it will transform.
If you thank yourself, the light will dawn."- Matt Kahn 

44 Then Jesus cried out, "Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46 | have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." - John 12: 44-46

"He's there before he sends instructions.
He's there before he puts that dream in your heart.
He's there before he sends you to unfamiliar places.
He's there. He's already there.
He's there in the place of your worries.
He's there in the place of fear.
Long before you think about it, he's already there.
So dear, proceed anyway.
The step that you are afraid to take might be the step that you need."- @noellegallo_

God is saying,

 STOP. 

Stop thinking.

Stop what you're doing right now.

Sit down in Silence.

Sit back into the Silence,

and close your eyes in Silence.

Don't think a thought.

Stop breathing,

just for a moment.

Hold your breath,

and feel Me,

holding you, 

carrying you. 

As that breath flows out,

you can still feel Me Loving you,

being You.

Sit up now,

into My Grace.

Into Me. 

There is nothing but Me.

And you practice that thought,

but you include everything but yourself, 

You see the GoOD in everyone and everything but you.

But I'm here, too.

I Am in the room. 

I am the room. 

The only reason you feel stuck like something is blocking you,

is because you don't stop.

You don't pause,

and pray.

The stopping,

this pausing,

is prayer.

It is practice.

And It prospers. 

I Love you,

Surrender Novena Day 5 -Father Ruotolo 

"And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother's arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you. 

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen"

"Chanting is an offering of the heart, a heart filled with feelings of humility, a desire to surrender, and a sincere service attitude." - Sacinanandnana Swami 

"The saints are not supermen, nor were they born perfect. When they recognized
GOD'S LOVE, they followed it and served others." - Pope Francis 

"In my life I have seen the most wonderful demonstrations of God's response to prayer. I urge you to pray not for little things, but for His presence. Only that prayer is worthwhile. If you are willing to sacrifice an hour or two of sleep for meditation every night, you will enter the kingdom of God. Don't watch the time. With deep sincerity pray, "Lord, I want You alone."- Paramahansa Yogananda

"Let us say that you have ten minutes, ten minutes to shut out the world, ten minutes away from the telephone, ten minutes for contemplating God and the things of God, ten minutes for spiritual realization. Remember, the world outside does not have the capacity to give ten minutes to this. It is only those who have in some measure been touched by the Spirit of God who have the capacity to sit for ten minutes in this contemplation: What have I in my house? I have the full measure of Christ-peace. I have all that the Father has, for the Father has given His allness unto me. God has even breathed into me His life; therefore, I have in my consciousness life eternal. I, the Christ, am come that I might have life and that I might have it abundantly. I have in my house, in my consciousness, life, and life abundant, infinite life, eternal life. I have an infinity of supply, because the Christ reveals that my heavenly Father knows that I have need of all these things, and that it is His good pleasure to give me the kingdom. I have the kingdom of God within me, and this is the Kingdom of all that I shall ever need.  I have in my consciousness eternal life, infinite supply, divine peace.  As vou contemplate this for five or ten minutes each day, you carry into your world the awareness of all that God is and all that God has as a gift that has been bestowed upon you by the grace of God.  If you have contemplated that, you have brought the peace that passes understanding into the room." - Joel S Goldsmith, Altitude of Prayer

“Rise, and do not be afraid.” - Matthew 17:7

Hear often inside 'Jesus I trust in you', 

or 'Jesus you take over', 

and s o f t e n. 

(t)His Softness changes things, 

your life gets softer. 

The Light comes in. 

You begin again. 

The right way. 

His Way. 

Are you ready?

I Love you,

"You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: "Thy will be done, You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say "You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.

Amen" - Father Dolindo Ruotolo

"Instead of surrender, try tenderness.
Surrender is tenderness towards your experience.
Tenderness is what remains when there is no attempt to fix anything." - Amoda Maa

"There is a current shift in my life that involves unburdening.
It involves detangling. It involves freeing up spaces that have been occupied by worry and doubt. I don't even need to force positivity anymore; it flows through me naturally as a result of these inner liberations. I'm so grateful that this path is opening my eyes.
Not only to all of the good, but also those things that it's about time I move on from.
My life will benefit from this vantage point. This is the type of energy I willingly invite into my space." - @sourcemessages

"When all doors are shut and you have nowhere to go, that is when you go within. Every crisis is an opportunity and you are the beginning." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
