But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
—Jesus, Matthew 6:33 (King James Version)
Here Jesus says that when we pursue a right relationship with the Universal One and allow this relationship to realign our lives, we produce a condition of receptivity in which anything we need to help us complete our purpose in life will be supplied by the universe.

welcome
Welcome to the divine playground of your soul. Here, Julian of Norwich's sweet blessing “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well” actually comes to pass. And none too soon. For many of us things haven't been going so well. We look around and wonder, “What happened? How did I get here?”
It isn't that we haven't been told what to do. We have. In many ways and by many teachers, we've been told to ask and receive. Asking sounds so easy and so fun. And sometimes, it works! But sometimes, nothing happens. Or the wrong thing happens. So we ask again. And again. And again. It seems no matter how much activity there is at the asking end, there's never quite enough on the receiving end.
Something is wrong, and we assume it must be with us. Maybe we're not asking correctly, or we're not clear enough about what we want, or our thoughts aren't in the right alignment, or perhaps our vibration is off, or we don't trust enough, or we're not saying the right affirmations, or—here's a scary thought—maybe we don't deserve to get what we want. Or, yikes, what if the universe doesn't actually work this way.
It's frustrating to keep knocking at a door that doesn't seem to want to open. Many of us are ready to give up.
