Quietly Trust
Our focus this week — Sep 24-30: “God’s Will”
Today’s MotD: Quietly Trust. We’re encouraged to trust that when we ask for help on what to do, it will be shown to us. This is a big ask for anyone new to this concept of a power greater than ourselves, let alone asking it for help. That’s where practice comes in and learning to discern how this power shows up for us. In that case, it’s best to start with simple or easy requests.
When I ask for help, it can and has shown up in a variety ways. I almost feels as if that Power tries different ways depending on what I’m doing, what I’m interested in, and what I’m paying attention to. It will show up in dreams, a piece of dialog from a movie or tv show, a particular song that “just happens” to come on at just the right moment, or even from other people who “just happen” to be talking about the very thing with which I need help.
Over the last 20+ years, that Power has also shown up as a gentle voice in my head. I learned to distinguish that voice from my ego voice by the way it tells me its message. My ego voice tends to start its message with the use of “I” or “you” as in “I need to go to the grocery store” or “You better clean up the kitchen before your company arrives”. My Power voice is more like a statement without any pronouns as in “call your mother” or “take your umbrella” or “check your email again”.
And over the years, I’ve learned to trust that when I ask for help it comes, usually in a quiet, subtle kind of way.
How about you ? When you ask for help of the powers that be do you trust that they will answer ? Do you expect it to come to you in a certain way ? Or are you open to receiving it however it needs to comes to you ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
