This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of trusting Life's wisdom (today and every day).

Comment from Marie:
 

Today (Nov. 5th) is election day in the USA. Many people are praying for their candidate or their party (their side) to win. And obviously, some of those people will be disappointed. Yet does that mean that their prayer was not answered appropriately? M

any of us, I'm sure, can remember wanting a certain thing (or person) in our life, and later realizing that we were so thankful that our prayer had not come true. So, whether your prayers come true or not, remember that there is a Greater Good at work. Everything that takes place is part of the path of humanity rediscovering its Love for itself and for all of Humanity.

The focus for today is:

There is a much greater wisdom to life
that is beyond our ability to understand.

Today's inspiration was written by Alexandra Leclere:

Prayer is a positive transfer of energy and an invitation for spirit guides to help out. 

Many people ask whether prayer really makes a difference in difficult situations. Our definition of a prayer being answered doesn’t always match the greater wisdom of life that we only have access to in bits and pieces. The only reason we doubt that prayer makes a difference is because we are expecting a specific result for our prayer within a specific time frame. 

We are invited to not only trust in prayer but also trust that the outcome of prayer, whether it coincides with what we think we want or not, is actually the best for any given situation. The reality is that there is a much greater wisdom to life that is beyond our ability to understand.

RELATED BOOK: Radical Regeneration

Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and the Renewal of the World
by Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker

book cover of Radical Regeneration: Sacred Activism and the Renewal of the World by Andrew Harvey and Carolyn BakerWhat is being made crystal clear is that humanity stands at a monumentally fragile threshold with two stark choices placed before it in a situation of complete uncertainty. Those choices are: 1) To continue to worship a vision of power, totally distanced from sacred reality 2) Or to choose the path of submitting bravely to the alchemy of being transfigured by a global dark night event that shatters all illusions but reveals the greatest imaginable possibility being born out of the greatest imaginable disaster.

If humanity chooses the second path, which is what is being celebrated in this book, then it will have trained itself in the new radical unity necessary to weather even worse crises.
