How to Trust The Universe in Difficult Times

How Do I Trust The Universe When Things Keep Going Wrong?
You often hear spiritual people say, "Just let go," or religious people say, "Let go and let God." The first step in learning to trust the universe is letting go of control. Everyone wants to stay in control, but in reality, we control very little. We control our breath, thoughts, feelings, and reactions, but that is about it. We were created to surrender. This is the school of life, and we must relinquish control to learn.
I stay in a conversation with the universe and a higher power. I trust the universe by listening and looking for signs that I am on the right path. I often see angel numbers such as 11:11, 1:11, and 5:55, as well as feathers; I hear a song with lyrics that I need or receive an uplifting text at the perfect moment.
Walking and spending time in nature helps me feel connected and grounded to the universe. Praying, chanting, meditating, and dancing are all beautiful ways to connect with the universe.
Even when things go wrong, I have learned to observe and accept the situation for what it is. Before long, something good happens, and then I see that the universe had a plan all along. It was redirecting me. I just had to trust the process. Yes, sometimes it is excruciating. But it has given me depth, shown me strength I never knew I had, and made me more resilient. It has also given me experience to help others.
What Does It Mean to Trust The Universe?
Trusting the universe means expecting the unknown—both the good and the bad—but having faith that, eventually, things will work to your benefit. Sometimes, not getting what we want is the greatest gift of all. It can create possibilities we never knew existed.
It is also a process of understanding that whatever hurt you in your past was not the intention of the universe or a higher power. If you have experienced trauma, it is important to work through that healing process. Know that you are worthy of all that you desire, especially love, acceptance, and abundance.
Why Trust the Universe
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it." ~ Paulo Coelho
We are energetic beings made of water, atoms, and molecules and vibrate in frequencies like the universe. So, the universe hears and understands our energetic vibration. When we put out what we want to the universe, the universe will deliver. It is the Law of Attraction.
Final Thoughts
Spiritual ascension, enlightenment, is largely the acceptance of union—oneness with the divine and with all living beings, as well as the understanding that we are one with the universe. When you realize that the universe is within you, it becomes easier to trust the process. And, when we release resistance, we attract abundance.
Positive affirmation:The universe delivers everything I need and desire in divine timing.
