Your Higher Power #3

Jennifred Jones

Who is your higher power?

Are we allowed to ask or is it too personal? Are we related to our higher power in some way?

Why was your particular higher power chosen for you instead of what someone else has?

  • Is your higher power strong enough for you?
  • Does it meet your needs and expectations?
  • Can you rely on it and tell it your deepest darkest …?
  • Will it turn against you if you don’t ‘do what you’re supposed to’?
  • Is your power alive or inanimate?

‘Look, lady! Why are you asking me all these stupid questions??? Let me figure it out!’

Different higher powers:

  • Nature
  • Birds
  • Rocks
  • Sky
  • Mountains
  • Psychiatrist
  • Doctor
  • Yoga
  • Statue
  • Totem Pole
  • Lake
  • Food
  • Breath work
  • Exercise
  • Universe

Is yours listed here? What is it? Where is it? Can you get to it when you need it?

…no more questions.

What If I Wanted to Know…

Jennifred Jones

What if I wanted to know but no one told me?

What if I wanted to know how to read, but no one taught me?

What if I wanted to know about cooking and finding good food, but no one showed me.

What if I wanted to know about exercise and working out, but no one would coach me.

This list could go on and on. Think of all the years wasted when helpful development could be happening in formative years.

What if I wanted to know but no one told me? … about God…

What if someone could have told me when I was growing up there is a God, not a religious god, but one who is real, the one who really did make the universe and all it contains, (including me), who sees everything and is watchful over me, who loves me, is truly interested in everything I do and think, who wants to remove all my guilt and shame, provide for my needs, make me brand new in my mind – free of worry and fear. Who wants me to understand how to do life on this earth, who wants me to grow up clean with no guilt-ridden past holding me hostage, who wants me to have meaningful relationships and even a family???

What if someone had told me, because I really wanted to know, but…

Where could I have been today?

Do not despair. God is still alive and knows just where you are. His name is Jesus and He wants you to be part of his family.

Talk to Him about you. He will talk to you about Him.
