Whatever your belief system, this statement offers great wisdom: "As ye believe, it shall be done unto you." It's also brilliant in its double meaning.
One meaning encompasses faith, though I'm not referring to the religious kind here. The amount of faith you have . . . the measure of how much you believe the Law of Attraction works and expect it to work for you (guaranteed by Spirit) . . . is the measure of your results. This can appear as Not at All, Almost, Some, or "Yes!"
The other meaning directly links to how the Law of Attraction works: what you think, is indeed what you get . . . every time.
Spirit does not meet the request of one person and not another. It doesn't work that way. How it does work is the person who aligns with the Truth of Spirit and with the truth of how the Law works, and removes any hindering thought to receiving, is the one who sees the effect, or manifestation, of cause, which is always a thought.
Faith, or belief, is not hopeful or wishful thinking. It's a solid thought of, "This or something even better," with no opposition and no stress or strain. Many of us, because we've been conditioned to do so, place more faith in fear; that is, we focus more thought on fears. Listen to your inner and outer conversations and those of others. How often are details of what can or might go "wrong," or the worst-case scenarios, entertained? Thoughts of "What if it all goes wrong" often have priority over "What if it all goes right or even better than expected?" How often, after we look back at an event, do we see perfection in what seemed imperfect at the time? We see how everything wove together like threads of a tapestry. We can choose to trust this process ahead of any event.
If we let go of faith in Truth when we need it most, this reflects to us that we don't fully know or accept the Truth. We don't need to judge ourselves in these moments, just ask what's needed to touch and hold Truth.
Granted, we don't control every event, nor or we meant to; but we're always participants in some measure. We don't control the path and evolution of any person other than ourselves. There is a Divine Order and expression. We can open ourselves to our role in this and how we choose to experience this inherent Divine Purpose. We can trust Divine Intelligence to provide the perfect answer or way, always.
What stops you from trusting? Which thoughts block the Law of Attraction working for you the way you prefer?
A final note: It's not about having faith "in" Spirit; it's about having the faith "of" Spirit.
