Dear “World on My Shoulders”
Thank you for your email! Dear Loved One, I fully understand the need for the inner peace of being emotionally held and supported, and desiring spiritual understanding and quiet rest in the midst of chaos. God wishes for us to feel the ripple effect of peace and love and to ripple it out from there.
Sometimes it can feel like we are taking the whole world onto our shoulders - but that is not our job! When we become the one placed at the top of the ripple effect of love for others, instead of being part of the flow of receiving and then sharing, it becomes a heavy burden. Especially when we are experiencing conflict with others.
We cannot attain nor sustain our goals in this way.
We are not asked to carry everything on our own or to have all the answers.
Incorporating some new tools will make a big difference for being consistently strong, feeling peaceful in the midst, helping others and understanding how free will operates in the spiritual realm.
Many of us wish only the best for ourselves and those around us, and are not afraid to give our all to make this happen. However, there are a few elements that need to be understood to sustainably do our best without being fully poured out and then broken.
God knows and feels the struggles we are facing, and doesn’t want us to be going through them either. He has a loving and kind heart. However, at this time, know that God would be going against free will to just dissolve any conflicts we are having - since that may be our will, but not the will of the other person(s). But there is much we can do, and reading this information including the linked articles will give you extremely useful tools and will save countless hours of pain.
(1). Recognize our own energy is not enough - we must actively bring in God’s energy into everything. Prayer connects, we each need to learn to live in an undertone of active prayer and listening for guidance. We are all like leaking paper cups, with many holes pouring out our own water (energy) for the things we need and want to get accomplished- but we MUST have fresh water (Divine energy or Holy Spirit) to be constantly flowing into the top of the cup - or else the leaky cup will empty out and become crushed - and then we are not able to help anyone. Being uneasy in spirit is God’s warning system, and there is a lot you can do to fill your cup, including play. https://www.blessedtiffanysnow.com/post/uneasy-in-spirit-god-s-warning-system
(2). God is big on free will and prayer gives more opportunities. Much weight is lifted off our shoulders when we recognize we can’t change a person’s free will choices, we are just offering an opportunity. Prayer actually places more opportunities for change in front of that person - but the choice for each person is still their own.
Sometimes we plant a seed, sometimes we water, and sometimes we get to see the harvest, but very few times do we get to be there for all three. Praying for the situation is like God planting more flowers (better choices of love) along a person’s path - but it is still up to the person walking the path to notice they are there, and to pick them. See how free will works and why it is part of the bubble of creation. https://www.blessedtiffanysnow.com/post/free-will-the-bubble-of-creation
(3). Some of humanity won’t “get it” right now. Most people, 2/3 of humanity, have continued to progress in their spiritual journey, but 1/3 have not - and have often chosen fear over love. So, they have more difficulty discerning the best choices, and bounce from bad decisions to good decisions and back again, causing much destruction and chaos in their wake. Our job is to just love them. And not to follow their lead or constantly pick up the pieces of the destruction left around them.
They will understand better later, when there will be no active manipulation upon them (God’s Kingdom) - until then, their choices will be flighty and bounce around between love and fear. So, as we choose to be one of His ripple effects of Love in the world, let’s continue to keep our eyes lifted to the promise set before us in Matthew 6:9,10. “….your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
(4). We have supernatural enemies, but Love wins! The fallen, unHoly Angels wish to destroy everything that God loves, but that won’t be allowed! And especially now since the unHoly Angels know they have a shortened period of time before Jesus steps in (God’s free will choice is to put His original purpose for humanity and the earth back in place - evil always had a limited time). These demons target the same things they always have - relationships, health and finances. On our own, we will not succeed against them. But when we go beyond our own strength, that’s where the miracles happen. Prayer changes things. All things really are possible with God, including protection and guidance in even the worst situations. https://www.blessedtiffanysnow.com/post/are-you-being-attacked-deliverance-and-exorcism-protect-yourself-and-your-loved-ones
So remember my dear, when we are experiencing anxiety and conflict and feel that the world is on our shoulders, we have tools and information to ease the burden and lighten the load - and even to recognize if the burden is ours to carry or not! God wants us to feel supported and cared for, and to ask Him into our day, to guide and infuse our Holy gifts and passions with Divine power and Spirit, and to remain vibrant, strong and happy while doing so.
