Lean on Him

by Rev. Georgeann Medved

There are millions of shades and variations of faith and doubt with which I face the Holy Spirit and His great Counsel. Amid all of this I ask myself what I need to do to take Holy Spirit seriously. To take Him seriously means to take Him at His holy word and to give Him the opportunity to respond to me in the way that He has promised.

I can never receive anything with anger, clenched fists, hanging head or drooping arms, only with my arms outstretched and my hands open. Perhaps because of my many doubts, I may have to start praying something like this:

“Holy Spirit, I pray to You to be with me in my doubt, confusion, anger and fear, to comfort me in my heartache and loneliness, to warm my heart with Your Love and in all of the positive and negative places. In the heights and depths of my soul, let me feel Your Hand — the soft hand that reaches out for me, the firm hand that leads me and the gentle hand that lifts my burdens. Then tomorrow I will wake up and do my work with You by my side and then I will break through the great silence that surrounds me and suddenly I will be with You.”

That’s the way it is with Holy Spirit. When I listen, Holy Spirit speaks and when I obey, Holy Spirit is right beside me. And when I ask, He grasps my hand.

A Course in Miracles tells me that Holy Spirit will not turn away anyone who asks for help and so I know I must lean on Him first, last and always.
