By following these simple steps
no matter what the situation,
your soul will surely rise above-
singing with joyful exclamation:
First and foremost trust
is the important starting place.
Complete, unwavering trust
that God is setting our pace.
Humble asking is the next step.
By striving for understanding,
you are setting yourself up
for a smooth and steady landing.
Not a selfish, arrogant asking,
or a whiny, ungrateful plea;
but a true desire to grow and be led-
acknowledging your want to be free.
Then the hardest but most crucial step,
patience - waiting for answered prayer.
It may feel like you're waiting forever,
but patience keeps you prepared.
Discouragement and frustration
can be loud and tangible feelings,
but it's just the ego creating drama,
trying to get in the way of healing.
While patiently living the questions,
it's vital to listen to our Source;
always tuning in to the good,
always vigilantly staying on course.
Watch for signs of your right place.
Choose to listen to the still, small voice.
God is always sending His angels;
we receive them when we make that choice.
Then, once you receive an angel-
when, at last, direction is clear-
you can obey straightaway.
Healing will manifest if you adhere.
By obeying God's instruction,
the next step is automatic:
It's simply glorifying God,
and your life will feel ecstatic.
With all this joy, come the final step-
as essential as the rest.
In order to receive more good,
give gratitude for how you've been blessed.
Resistance works its hardest
right before it's crushed and beaten.
So don't give in, but give more;
do the opposite of what it's screamin'.
Then when you feel your full dominion-
when the illusion of evil has lost-
you'll realize what was all along:
God is the one and only Boss.
This freeing feeling is so complete,
so victorious, so alive!
A healing power like none else-
one only God could contrive.
Therefore, in any situation,
or with anything troubling you:
trust, ask, be patient, listen,
obey, glorify, and give gratitude for Truth.
