faving my trial, opening to my potential

“A young boy watched a butterfly struggling to get out its cocoon. Wanting to be of help, he slit the cocoon open to help the butterfly escape. To the boy's surprise, the butterfly came out with shriveled wings and spent the rest of its life bound to the ground. When we face trials, we are being prepared to manifest our greatest potential.” – A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love
“Without struggle, success has no value.” – the Buddha
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I am fortified with passion as I begin the work that is before me. I am sourced by Divine Life, and I have the power of clarity, the enthusiasm of conviction, and the stamina of one who is answering the call. I can do all things through God which strengthens me. Amen.
