~~The Gift of Letting Go–Surrender Meditation~~

Imagine if you could easily go with the flow when plans suddenly change…and you could stay more fully connected and in-tune with God’s will for your life on a daily basis. This guided meditation has been writing by licensed clinical therapist Linda Rasmussen to assist you to:

* Lower your anxiety and stress levels
* Release the need to control
* Let go of perfectionism and find empathy, compassion, and contentment with your life

Podcast Notes
A prophet (or prophetess) is one who knows by the Holy Ghost that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, “for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Rev. 19:10).

And we can have temporary stewardship as teachers to children, or a therapist, or coach, or as a healer, or many things both in and out of the church.” -Julia Frost
Wilford Woodruff said, when talking about Brigham Young and looking at ourselves: “He is a prophet, I am a prophet, you are, and anybody is a prophet who has the testimony of Jesus Christ, for that is the spirit of prophecy” (JD 13:165).  The Prophet Joseph Smith explained that “a prophet [is] a prophet only when he [is] acting as such” (HC 5:265).
Foretelling vs Forthtelling:
