If we forget and attempt to make those in our
lives happy, we will soon become drained and
exhausted. Trying to be the source of anything
will ultimately crush us. Simply put, we are not the
Source.

It is time to remember that God is the Source in
our lives. If we forget this, there will be no room for
our own well-being and our own happiness. We 
don't realize what a burden trying to be the Source
is until we look at what is happening in our lives.

Here are some indications we are trying to be the
Source:
If we feel overwhelmed, we may be attempting to 
be the Source of strength for someone.
If we feel scared and frightened, we may be 
attempting to be the Source of safety for 
ourselves and others.
If we feel under financial strain, we may be
attempting to be the Source of abundance in our
lives.
If we feel we do not have a life, we may be trying
to be the Source of well-being for someone.
If we are trying to cover all the bases, we may be
attempting to be the Source of appropriateness
or direction. 

The point is: we are not the Source!
When we remember this, we may ask God:
"Would You be the Source of Support in my life;
Would You be the Source of abundance that 
flows through and around me;
Would You be the Source of Well Being that 
provides care for those I love;
Would You be the Source of Safety that directs 
my actions and the actions of those around me.
Would You be the Source of comfort and the 
words to offer that comfort to others;
Would You be the Source of Inspiration for my
expression;
Would You be the Source of Wisdom in my
choices;
And, would You be the Source of willingness that
allows me to let You be the Source.
