A GUIDE FOR DISCERNMENT. . .

October 22, 2019 by Searcher Seeker

In November 2008 I was struggling with ‘what’s next.’  These past several months I have, once again, been struggling to discern ‘what’s next.’  As I was paging through one of my journals I came across the following that I had written in 2008.  I had labeled this entry as A Guide for Discernment.  As I sit with these guidelines this morning I again find them to be helpful and so I offer them to you, gentle reader, as you might also find some of them to be useful as you step along your life’s journey.  Here is what I wrote in 2008.   I wrote: Richard, Pay Attention & Listen…

BE STILL AND LISTEN — Take some time and become still, silent and listen

TRUST — that ways will open (and ways will close); prepare yourself to be open to the ways that will show themselves to you and prepare yourself to let go of ways that close to you

BE STILL AND LISTEN – Become quiet, sit in silence, be still and listen for the whispers that may guide you

SEARCH AND SEEK — What are the needs that exist in your world that your gifts, talents, presence, and ‘being’ can serve?

BE STILL AND LISTEN – Again, become quiet, sit in silence, be still and listen for the whispers that may guide you

ENGAGE IN SEARCHING CONVERSATIONS – Seek out those who care about you and seek out those you care about and search together without a destination in mind

TRUST — what you are discerning — the information AND your intuition

TRUST — the universe and God — you are here to help serve the needs of your world; no one else can offer what you offer for you are truly unique and you are needed

BE STILL AND LISTEN – Search and Seek; what you need will emerge so pay attention

CHOOSE AND ACT — do not give in to anxiety; your opportunity to choose and act may not occur for many months and be ready for you may discern a way open sooner rather than later

CARE FOR YOUR P.I.E.S. – Take care of your four dimensions: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual

BE STILL AND LISTEN – Be Still. . . Listen. . .
