Feeling powerless is very disheartening and can make you give up on life and people. But sometimes we have to strengthen ourselves and know that we have power within us that we just have to release! Wonderful write, Eve! This is deep! Pandita

Thank you, Pandita. You’re truly right feeling powerless is very disheartening and my heart aches when I see anyone like this. Blessing and hugs dear friend

"When Devotedness gone" and "Tender yearning relinquished" we prostrate. Praying to God you never feel powerless. Hugs! xxxxxxx RAJAT

So well done Eve. I felt the emotions. Nothing is worse than feeling powerless.

Brenda, thank you, the feeling of powerless is such a feeling of hopelessness :)

Yes, it is at this point -- when we are empty of ourselves -- that love can enter in . . .
