God messed up your plans

My client was upset today.
He had plans, important things to do.
But God messed up his plans.
His computer broke down.
and he had to deal with God's plans.
instead of the plans he had made.

Do you get upset with God's plans?.

It's important to have your own plans.
But despite the best of planning,
the best of preparation,
sometimes God has plans
that are different than yours.
And She won't let you know about them
until the last minute.
God is the master of the fait accompli.

But what is our typical response
when God interrupts our plans?
We get upset with ourselves,
we get upset with others,
we get upset with God or the universe.

Why do we get upset
when God substitutes Her plans for ours?
Because it frightens us
and we don't want to feel the fear.
Because it gives us pain
and we don't want to embrace the pain.

But what if you were willing
to breathe deeply into your fear and pain,
to honor and appreciate it
as an expression of your love and commitment?
You would not feel fear,
you would not feel pain
if you didn't love and you didn't care.

But what if you were willing
to become interested in God's plans?
What if you asked yourself,
"What is She trying to do for me?"
"How might She be providing
a gift to me in this breakdown?"
"How might I create a gift
out of this breakdown?"
"What really valuable lesson
might I learn out of these circumstances?"
"How might I begin to see God's plans
as preferable over the plans
that I postponed or canceled?"

Can you feel how letting go
of trying to control God's plans
is a choice of courage?

Breathe into the fear and honor yourself for choosing that courage.
