Trials

As channeled by Marcia Wilson

All of life seems a trial to some people. So many problems, so many challenges, so many obstacles to overcome. It appears that there is a struggle to find that in life which is enjoyable and fulfilling. When our trials multiply or they come in increasing intensity, we feel so stressed and overcome that we find it even harder to maintain a sense of balance and control of our actions.

We generally develop strength through our trials, but we can also be tried in such a way that it can have devastataing results. There are those who give up, those who become ill, and those who become mentally unstable. The world is not at peace, the sense of peace is not present. As a result, there is an unusual energy field of 'heaviness' that can affect all. We are being bounced around by negative thinking, worry, and fear. As has been said before, it is important for each person to try to maintain a sense of inner peace and inner balance. This is not something that can just be willed into place. It must be practiced. There is such a feeling of aloneness at times and the influence of one person seems to be overrated. Yet imagine if each person, or at least the majority, could find a balance, a peace that could be shared and sent out to others. It is something that would be wise to try to attain.

We are well aware of the difficulty of keeping balance and peace in an environment where there is none. When there are individual trials, and those which we all are affected by, we need to build on our strength. We need to increase our sense of needing strength in these times. Watch each day to see if you have been over influenced by the environment around you or whether you have been able to find at least some calm, some steadiness in your life. Pray for peace, but work at peace within, seek it, search for it, and diligently treasure that which you find.
