Ask for Help

Talk to the Universe

“Then listen to your inner voice. Hear what it says and trust what you hear. Answers come in many ways, from many sources, many places. But if the answer is right for you, your heart will know, and it will feel true.”

Melody Beattie (Journey to the Heart, p.46)

          I am an out-loud talker. I talk to Liza all day, and just assume she knows what I’m saying because she looks at me like she does. I frequently ask her to speak to the dog-God for one thing or another, and I’m pretty sure she prays for me. I also have regular conversations with the universe. “I need help here!” is one of the things said out loud. Another is, “Why is everything so hard!” Usually, the answer to that one has something to do with my age, which of course, I don’t like hearing. I wonder if you do these things, too.

          Learning to ask for help when you need it is a big life-lesson. We’re all so bent on being independent, I know, but if you don’t ask for help when you need it, bad things sometimes happen. You can ask another person, you can ask God (whatever you understand God to be), and you can put it out there to the universe of which you are a part. According to Deepak Chopra, everything that happens in the universe begins with intention. And we’re told that when we ask with clarity, the universe gets behind us to make it happen.

          If that sounds like magic, it isn’t. When we are undivided in our request, if there is no part of us that equivocates, then we put into action the energy equivalent of a seismic wave in the universal web. We twang the strand that causes all the others to vibrate. The truth is, we are never alone, and there are more possibilities than any one of us can imagine.

There is a universe within us and around us of which we are an integral part. And since we are not separate from anything else in all of creation, the answers to our questions are always present. We can ask, and then listen. The answers will come from our own inner voice, or they may come from surprising places or people. Any way they come they can be trusted. So, go ahead…ask aloud. And then, expect answers. Hold the question/prayer in your awareness and wait for assistance. It will come.
