“I can learn to avail myself of the immense, inexhaustible power of God, if I am willing to be continually conscious of God’s nearness.” (ODAT, 21 August)
How does that availing take place? Talking, thanking, listening, asking. I can and should go to God on each specific matter that arises, remind myself constantly of the presence of God, ask for the right thought or action, remind myself I am no longer running the show, recognise I have turned my life over to God so it is no longer my business or concern except in that I must dispose of my time and energies under His direction, trust that I will be shown what to do and how to behave in each situation that arises, and in general recognise myself as His creature, placed in a specific relationship with the rest of His creation.
