Quick question about setting intentions

[underthemoon18]

I always get stumped when trying to set my intentions. I have heard that you need to be very specific, because when asking for 'money' instead of a set amount, or 'enough money to pay off your debt', then it can easily be mistaken for... you found a nickel on the ground, and that nickel is money, so that was your intention of 'getting more money'.

So when wanting to set an intention, I always kind of get concerned like.. what if what I want happens, but it comes at the cost of something bad, or something bad comes because of it. For example, if someone wants a large sum of money to come in so they can be comfortable, what if it comes at the cost of a family member dying and it comes from inheritance. Or what if they get a large sum of money, and their spouse takes half leaves them. I feel like I am always feeling guilty about how it will play out, or how it will happen.

So I will tell a little bit about my problem.
I am a foster mother, and my current placement is not going very well. It has been 8 months and it has not gotten any better with this placement. There is a family member who really wants to take them, but everything is moving a lot slower than it should be. Each day get harder with these kids, and their parents never get to see them because they live 5 hours away and are not able to make many visits, so if they are placed with the family member they will get to see them weekly instead of the now once every 2 months. And I can't help but think about how other children are being sent to the children's shelter because our home is closed, but it could be open if everyone would work faster to get them placed with their family.

I have been setting my intentions for everyone to move quicker and make this move faster, but I feel like my heart is not fully in it because of all of the worries.
1. What if this family member does not have any business having children, and they are worse off
2. Their behavior is very difficult and sometimes violent so what if they end up physically harming the kids
3. What if I want them to go, and they do, but it is because an incident happens that involves our home being closed. (I met a lady who's foster children stayed with another family while on vacation and the family wanted the kids so they had said that one of the kids admitted to the family hitting them so they could be placed with them, and their home got shut down for a long time until they were able to fully prove that they had not been hitting the kids. Luckily hers were old enough to talk and tell the truth, but our child is 4 and lies and makes up stories all the time)
4. What if our next case is a lot harder and the kid(s) end up being abusive to the other children in our home.

So I feel like.. when I really want something, I always wonder what the cost will be if I am not 100% with how I want it to play out.

Will it just be known what I want.. If I say that I want the system to move faster and allow them to be placed with their family member within the month.

Or do I need to be very clear and say that I want them placed by the end of the month, and I want the family member to be full capable of taking care of them, and if it doesn't work out then they are able to find a very loving family, and if they return home that their family will be healthy and make choices that are best for the children and be prepared for parenthood, and that when they leave it will be on good terms and in their best interest so they can be closer to their family, and all will work out for them, and us as well.

Or is it clear in my energy? Or do I need to be specific for all possible outcomes? I just don't want things, if it is possible that they come at a bad cost, and in this case, at the cost of their safety.

So just wondering.. for it to be a bad circumstance, do I need to set it to be bad? Like have bad intentions? Or can it happen badly if I do not set my intentions correctly?

Again, I just get stuck in the how. I know they cay to set your intention and not worry about 'how' it will come, but I truly don't want it to come in a bad way or have a bad outcome.

Thank you!

I would say something like, " This current situation must be resolved in the best interest of all involved, by the end of the month." That gives a timeline, and states that it needs to be in the best interest of everyone who is involved.

Haha, I thought you said this was a quick question?

Based on your post, you have too much mental chatter going on. The worries, the anxieties, etc.

I would suggest stop basing your intentions on your mind and go with what your heart is telling you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with manifesting Love in the world

Write down "I love (want)" and burn it and face the worry afterwards. Clarity trumps worry, so you would probably meditate and clear energy a bit to fix yourself, having written the intent down and burned it. I say to use the word love because love is the intent that can't go wrong spiritually.
