For some, just contemplating the idea of a spiritual solution to a pressing problem can feel irresponsible and hopeless.
We will never know the benefits that our true power offers until we let go of control and listen to the inner divine presence. Initially, aligning and getting in touch with our true power may can be challenging. Listening within and stepping out of the paradigm of allowing outer influences to be our source of power takes courage.
