There are many different perspectives on God. 

Some feel they have a very personal relationship with God, which is a good thing. 

But this personal relationship means they sometimes put the responsibility for bad things that happen onto God. This leads to questions like, “why did God allow this to happen?”

We have all created the circumstances of our lives through our past thoughts and actions. That’s how the law of karma works. We create our tomorrow by how we live today.

We  make our own decisions and we, not God, are responsible for the consequences. 

Looking at it from a different perspective, many feel that God will take care of them without them having to do anything. They may find themselves in a difficult situation and choose to leave it in the hands of God without trying to solve the problem themselves. 

The Master Aetherius said in several Transmission:

“God will work with you, not for you.”

This means that we absolutely are helped by God, but only if we try to help ourselves as well. 

We cannot leave every outcome up to something outside of ourselves. Our action is the catalyst for Divine intervention.

Something you can try

Dr. George King’s address on “The Secret of Personal Prayer” is available on Aetherius Cloud. It provides a simple formula for success in personal prayer. It is a wonderful practice that helps you realize how you can help yourself, whilst also seeking help and guidance from God.

Is there a time that you felt you were helped by something outside of yourself? Let me know about your experience.
