Letting Go with Guy Finley

Guy Finley explains that when you feel betrayed by God, the actual betrayal is that your own mind would lead you to believe that God deserts those who love him.

We all know exactly what it is like to be certain we have let go of something sorrowful or worrisome, only to find ourselves in a similar sad situation moments later.

Self-observation allows you to understand what you are witnessing within you instead of being dominated or devastated by it because…
