Relax Into My Presence

My precious daughter, I see you grappling with this concept of leaning into Me. You understand it intellectually, but you are finding it hard to truly live it.

Remember when you were learning how to float in the swimming pool? Do you remember how terrified you felt? How you did not believe that the water could truly hold you? And so, you flailed around in the water, kicking and splashing; refusing to lean into the water's holding. You saw the water's turbulence as proof that it could not hold you, when in fact, it was your own struggle that was causing the turbulence. It was not until you learned to breathe through your fear and relax into the water that you discovered the water's power to buoy you up. You had to believe somebody else's report that this was an attribute of water, that it could hold you. You had to cling to this truth as you breathed through your fear.

So it is with Me, Beloved. I want you to learn to relax into My Presence, just as you learned how to relax into the knowledge that the water could hold you. Stop flailing around, My Dear One, stop kicking and splashing. Your struggle is creating the turbulence that you sense around you. I do have the power to hold you, Beloved! You need to cling to this Truth as you breathe through your fear. Relax into My Presence and find the place of calm I have for you.
