Nature Forcing Change

"In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place." - Susan L. Taylor, editor, writer, and journalist

I, like many people I know, have been through some crises in my life. It has become clear to me that a crisis can actually bring me to a new level of consciousness and understanding. Some of my worst experiences have gotten my attention, and once I became aware of my circumstances I was able to look at my part and learn the lessons that come from walking through very difficult times.

It's never fun to deal with problems, let alone a crisis that can sometimes literally bring me to my knees. But now I know that I am blessed with gifts in every tough situation I face. Today I am willing to welcome change, release negative habits, and replace them with something better. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Dear God, today and every day, I will welcome the challenges in a crisis if necessary, for I know I will grow and raise my level of consciousness. Thank you for the blessings that come with the challenges. And so it is.
