In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luke 2:8
In the Christmas story, sheep represent our thoughts. This scene takes place in the night which represents a condition of cheap kamagra professional mind that is disconnected with the light of Spirit. The shepherds, however, represent our ability to keep our thoughts orderly and focused even when we feel separate from our Source. The result of this discipline is that an angel of the Lord appeared before the shepherds announcing the good news of the coming Messiah.
It’s important to remember that even when you feel you are in spiritual darkness, you are still in the presence of Spirit. In one sense, prayer is a practice of tending your flocks. When you pray you are opening your mind to a desired direction, a solution of some sort. It’s easy to begin to doubt that any greater good will come from your act of prayer. This doubt is the act of allowing your flocks, your thoughts, to scatter and dissipate the viagra in the uk momentum of forces working together to manifest as your highest good.
When you want to achieve a thing, you bring the force of your whole being to bear on that thing. You see the finished thing, you make plans and you take action in the direction of this desire. If you start in a direction then hesitate and veer to another direction, you will not see the completion of the thing you desire.
Thomas Troward wrote, “The Lord will provide the food, but He won’t cook the meal.” Bits and pieces of the answers you seek in prayer may come into your experience. It is up to you to then take these elements and develop them into desired conditions. The process of doing this opens you to greater possibilities. An angel of the Lord appears, so to speak, announcing even greater good than you had been seeking. It is most important to stay focused in your times of spiritual darkness. Good things are happening that you cannot see.
