In this illustration, Lindsay Maxfield encourages readers to lay down their pain, release their control, and find healing through bold, unwavering faith. Similarly, in Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon inviting you to trust God with your matter and accept the spiritual renewal that awaits on the other side of devotion.
To heal, fully and completely, the only thing you need to do is think, and it will be.
No, this is not a trick or a riddle or a cruel joke. That is exactly what is needed. Well, that and a healthy dose of faith.
You see, I believe that faith is one of the most misunderstood—and sadly underrated—virtues. For faith, when fully understood and properly exercised, can indeed move mountains… and heal any affliction, with the speed of thought.
When we have faith, we choose to believe. We don’t want to know or control or understand. If we have pure faith, we put our trust in an unseen power, and we move hell out of the way.
Mindfulness therapy requires you to have faith that, “I don’t need to know how or why this happened, I just know that I’m ready to be done with it.”
This type of faith also says, “I will hope that this will happen and it will happen, and that I am ready and worthy to receive this healing now.”
And last but certainly not least, this faith also says, “I am willing to let go of any behaviors and emotions I have in this problem, including guilt, shame, victimization, blame, anger, hatred and more.”
Yes, true faith is willing to let go…
And when you do, something remarkable happens. When you open your arms and let go of those burdens—needs to know or control, doubts that you might not get what you’re asking for, habits and patterns and feelings and beliefs that keep you trapped in a vicious cycle of emotional pain—when you let them all go, you open your arms to receive. You create space for all the beauty you never had space for before. He made a place for healing.
Faith is a necessary ingredient for healing at the speed of thought, not because faith produces the miracle, but because faith precedes the miracle. And miraculously, time folds in all directions, making anything possible. In fact, in the face of faith and miracles, time stops, we make amazing changes in an instant—at the speed of thought.
Now, more than ever, this kind of healing is truly possible for all of us. The reason? Time.
This chaotic energy, and the chaos that we hear and feel, is not only caused by the social and political situation and the chaos that is happening in every corner of the world; it’s because time is fast. Even if you don’t show it, you can feel it, and it stirs up crowds. But it also triggers our internal clocks, ringing a wake-up call to our souls at an ever-increasing rate.
Even if your mind doesn’t understand it yet, your soul knows: It’s time to wake up. Time to see the truth. It is time to free yourself from the chains of oppression and lies and the pain of the past.
It’s time to break out of the patterns you’ve been stuck in, the outdated and inappropriate roles you’ve played for most of your life. It’s time to let go of who the world wants you to be—indeed, who you thought you were. It’s time to discover who you really are … and wake up to the incredible power of all that you are destined to be. In short, it’s time to heal.
This is your wake up call.
Your time is now. This treatment is for you. Get up, take them.
