Every day I have the ability to choose the path I follow.  If I’m paying attention, there are clues that will guide me to my intended path.  Whether or not I follow what is intended for me is my will.

Even when I have constraints around time or place, I still have the ability to choose the light.  I might be inconvenienced or somewhere that I am not fond of being, but if I choose to look for the opportunity, it will be presented.   

Often the opportunity is not what I want.  Sometimes I have to endure things that I would not have otherwise chosen, but have done so following my path.  

It is prayer that opens the opportunity to follow my intended path.  Each decision I make peace is my gauge.  I may not like where I’m going or what I’m doing, but if peace is within me, I know it’s my chosen path.

It is pretty clear to me each time I move off course. Things start to go wrong and peace has left my body.  The solution is simple.  I move to prayer and refocus on my intended path. 

My happiness is dependent on inner peace.  The moment my stomach turns, I know to move to prayer.  Chaos is a sign that I may have moved forward without guidance. 

I pray my way through the day.  Occasionally, something will catch me off guard or come up quickly, and I make a decision.  Sometimes I realize myself and quickly pray for direction.  

Other times it is a pit in my gut that reminds me that Jesus is my guide.  I quickly re-surrender, ask forgiveness, and thank Jesus for getting me back on track.  Inner peace is my indication that I have given control back to Jesus.

It is my will to choose the path that I think is best for me or the path that I know is intended.  Giving up control is difficult until inner peace is found.  For me, inner peace is a way of life.  I still have challenges, but moving through the obstacles with inner peace is priceless.
