Ease and Grace

Rev. Roger Teel of the Mile Hi Center in Denver, brought up in his talk at the Asilomar Conference this year, the idea of whether or not it is a good practice to use the phrase, "ease and grace", when doing an affirmative prayer. Part of his thought was that not everything comes with ease and grace and if we expect it to be so we will think we are going the wrong direction when things get tough. I understand his perspective, but ease and grace means something different to me. It's not that there will be no problem or issue to deal with, but that in dealing with them we have a knowing, an awareness that we are loved and supported right where we are. There is a mantra that goes - God is. I am. All is well. Keeping this in mind allows us to move through life without undo resistance and with confidence that 'all is well.' Ease and grace is living in the awareness that we are loved, sourced, inspired, directed and protected no matter how the circumstances look.
