Well, this is what “Great Spirit” and the “Ancestors” came up with today.  The Negro spiritual “Lord, I Want You to Help Me”, speaks to what we have access to in our individual lives and for this message today “Spirit” is telling us that it also applies to us as a collective humanity.  We have access to the power and where with all that will see us through the troubled waters.  A way will be made out of what seems to be “NO WAY”.   The waters will part and open a path for us to be victorious “in spite of” whatever challenge tries to disrupt our peace and still our “Joy”, because through it all, there will be “Joy in the Morning”.  There is no way that we won’t weather the storm and find our way!  There is no way that we will not receive what we need as individuals and as a collective humanity to come into the light of redemption and reconciliation, because in the long run, we ultimately are not at the helm of destiny of this planet and the humanity that is occupying it.  We are “GUEST” and are being hosted as temporal beings with souls that reside ultimately in the place and with the creator that gave us life.  Each soul is here by the grace of “God” so that our soul expressions can through this earthly experience grow and evolve.  There was and is no intention on the part of “Great Spirit”, for us to suffer, cause suffering, or to succumb to circumstances that would separate us from that “Divinity” that is instill in each of us. 

We do, however, make a conscious choice of how we want to play out our current life blueprint and therefore decide how much we value and appreciate our “Divine identity” and “Divine Purpose”.  What “Great Spirit” and the ancestors want us to know today is that they are here for us.  Sure, we can ask for help verbally in our prayers and in the songs that come from the depth of our souls, but they want us to be cognizant of the fact that they feel our needs and will respond even if we don’t ask.  They are there to help us on our journey.  Sit in that for a while and so much will be revealed to you.
