How can we know in moments of turmoil that "all is well"? We are meant to be in touch with a host of forces that we presently don't have any relationship with, and because of that we're missing an entire aspect of our potentiality as beings. We're used to taking for ourselves whatever our mind imagines we need and deserve, which is what leads to our uncertainty and discontent. In surrendering this "demanding self," we make room for God's life. Through our conscious participation with the cycle of rebirth and renewal, we are given everything we truly need.
