I was in my daily meeting with my business partner, the Holy Spirit, at the Blessed Sacrament, trying to solve a persistent problem in my business. I had hired coaches, done all the inner work, expanded my capacity, and the problem was still there. So I asked God directly to show me what I was missing. And what he revealed in that silence is what I want to teach you today, because it will change the way you look at every problem in your life permanently. There is only one problem. And when you solve that one problem, every symptom you have been chasing, the money issue, the relationship tension, the anxiety, the health challenge, the disconnection from your child, dissolves from the root, not from the surface. The one problem is separation. When we are born, we are fully one with God, fully one with the source of life, wisdom, grace, and every good thing. But as we grow, we begin to trust our own intelligence more than our source, and we drift. In that gap between you and God, between you and your highest self, is where every problem you have ever had lives. Depression is separation from the source of joy. Anxiety is separation from the source of peace. Financial scarcity is separation from the source of abundance. Resentment is separation from the source of love. Once you see this you cannot unsee it, and you stop wasting your energy managing symptoms and start going straight to the root. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Every problem you have ever had, whether it is financial, relational, physical, or emotional, is a symptom. The one true underlying problem is always the same: separation from God, from the source of all life, wisdom, peace, and abundance. When we grow in intelligence and self-reliance, we unconsciously begin to trust our own understanding more than our source. That drift creates a gap. And in that gap, depression, anxiety, fear, resentment, and scarcity find room to live. There is a critical difference between pain and suffering. Pain is the path, the grief, the adversity, the hard season. Suffering is what happens when you believe the problem is permanent and hope is gone. You can go through devastating pain and have no problems if you remain connected to the source of hope. The first step to solving any problem is identifying what is creating the separation. It could be control, judgment, resentment, unforgiveness, self-loathing, or the sin of omission: ignoring what God has placed in your heart to do. Once you know what is separating you, you can address the root instead of the symptom. The second step is stillness. In silence, in prayer, in the emptying of the noise of the human mind, divine wisdom downloads. You do not need more information, more coaches, or more strategies. You need to stop, be still, and let God speak into the gap. Resources & Links: Ready to step into your purpose and answer God’s calling to do more?
