Praying for guidance didn’t come naturally to me. I was all into mental mastery, using my will to control the mind. But a few times when I was really struggling, full of anxiety and confusion, I found myself pleading for guidance. There was a relief in admitting my helplessness and every time I sincerely asked, I received a new strength and clarity that I could not explain. This act of humbling my ego and opening myself to be guided has helped me so much that I now pray for guidance regularly.
