Right now, in this time of fear and isolation, what if you could call your God into your space and talk with them. Who would you call on? Those of you who follow the Christian faith, would you call on Jesus? Those of you who are of the Muslim faith, would you call on the prophet Muhammad? Would those of you who practice Buddhism, would you call on the Buddha? Those of you who may follow the path of The Ifa religion, which of your Orishas would you call on?
There are so many different religious practices around. I believe that they all lead to but one God. I am an Interfaith minister and I believe that each religion or spiritual practice has its own Master or Leader whose task is to lead all followers to God. If you could call on the Master or Leader of your religion and invite them into your home and invite them to sit at your dining room table who would you call? What would you talk about? Would you tell them of the fear that you have? Would you share with them just how lonely you are? If they asked you why you are feeling so lonely, would you be able to express it? If they asked you what you are so afraid of could you tell them?
When I sit with my spiritual Master and I express those feelings that make me uneasy or anxious, there is a calmness that is present. As I search for words to describe the feelings that I have there is a peace that surrounds me. The more I share the lighter I become. I then notice that as I listen to God speak through that Master, my sense of security returns. I then realize that my faith has been fanned so that it burns brighter than before.
God tells me that I am not alone and that He/She/It is always with me. I believe that to be true. There is that peace of God that comes over me and in me and through me. Peace like I have never felt but I feel something familiar as I relax in it. I find myself letting go of all that I held on to. I’m at peace and I’m okay with that.
