One morning, as I sat down for my morning reading, I opened the book, A Course In Miracles, and I read a line that, first, stopped me in my tracks, and second, it seemed to dissolve some inner tension that I didn’t even realize I was holding in that moment.

The line was:

“Trust would settle every problem now.”

Slow down with this one. I invite you to feel into this.

“Trust would settle every problem now.”

This is a radical spiritual declaration.

When I first read it, I thought “Wow, what a powerful suggestion.” But the more I sat with it, the more I realized that it wasn’t a suggestion at all. It wasn’t a prescription, but a description of what happens when we activate the power of Trust in the moment.

It’s saying that trust – trusting Life, trusting the Love-Intelligence behind all that is, trusting yourself as a unique, individualized expression of this Divine Intelligence – would “settle every problem”.

When? Right NOW.

Over the years, I’ve coached thousands of people from around the world. Something I noticed early on is how little we all trust in the unfolding of our lives.

We doubt. We worry. We fear. We get stressed out. We demand that things should be different than they are. And in a very real way, we believe that we know what’s in our best interest better than God/Spirit/Source/Existence/The Universe.

What these 6 words are saying…

“Trust would solve every problem now.”

Is that you can take the weight off your shoulders, right now. You can stop worrying, right now. You can stop being afraid, right now. You can stop wondering if things will work out or not, right now.

All of that unnecessary inner tension can be instantly wiped out and replaced with one thing:

Trust.

Now, I know that this can be a tall order for some people. I mean, when it feels like Life is pressing you up against a wall, when it feels like nothing is working out the way you want it to, it can feel like the biggest leap of faith to trust that things are unfolding for your highest good.

This is why I would like to share with you 3 simple steps that can support the development of Trust in your life.

1. Recognize

I’ve found it to be incredibly helpful in Trust-Development to recognize the deeper Intelligence that’s already working behind all of life.

Notice that your heart is beating, your organs are fulfilling their function, your cells are replicating, your blood is circulating, you’re digesting, your eyes are blinking, gravity is holding you in place, the seeds are sprouting, the trees are growing, the sun is shining…and you’re not doing any of this!

You are literally being lived! You are so taken cared of right now. Recognize that so much is happening in this very instant, that you’re not doing, that is responsible for you being alive, aware, here and now.

Recognize that there is a Divine Intelligence at work. Simply notice it.

2. Unify

Once you’ve recognized and activated the awe and wonder of simply being alive, unify with this Intelligence. Notice that you’re not separate from Life. There is no “Life over there.” It’s all Life. You’re Life seeing and recognizing Life.

Notice that you have never been separate from the Intelligence behind all of Life. If you were, even for a moment, you would stop existing!

Notice that you are already One with Life. Feel it. Be it.

3. Surrender

From this Unified State, surrender. Surrender all your worries, fears, stress, doubts, concerns, anger, shame, anxiety and so on. Surrender it all to Spirit/God/The Universe etc.

Let it all go. As the saying goes “Let go and let God”. Hold on to nothing. Let it all drop and notice how, like a ball being held under water, the moment you take off the weight, your overall state of clarity and wellbeing, in this moment, rises without you having to do anything else.

“Trust would settle every problem now.”

Trust that Life is for you and never against you.

Trust that Life is unfolding in the most perfect way for your growth, development and unfoldment.

Trust that, right here and right now, you are in the perfect place at the perfect time in the perfect conditions.

Trust that, like the seed that grows into a mighty oak tree, you already have everything within you to fulfill your soul’s potential.
