Rest in the assurance that you are receiving right and perfect answers to all your prayers. Release thoughts of fear, worry, and anxiety. Turn to God as the guiding presence and power in your life and affairs. Realize that God is supplying all your needs, lovingly and abundantly.
Relax. Be at peace with yourself and your world. Your life will begin to show forth peace and order. Whatever needs you have—encouragement, healing, unfinished tasks to complete, bills to pay—will be fulfilled by God who is working through you.
Pray, expecting right and good answers. They will come.
Do you ever experience turmoil in your emotions? Do you sometimes become angry, hurt, or discouraged? If so, those are the times to enter the silence of prayer. Take a few moments to center your thoughts upon the stabilizing Spirit of love and peace within you.
As you give your attention to God instead of to your adverse feelings, you will find good things taking place. Peace will be established in your mind. New ideas will come to you. Fresh vigor and strength will flow through your body. You will experience new levels of understanding.
Turning your thoughts to God will still the troubled waters of your mind and give you calmness of spirit.
Your body is a “temple of the living God.” Therefore, it is important to keep it clean, pure, and beautiful.
Your body is highly responsive to your suggestions and attitudes toward it. How often do you suggest tiredness to your body? How often do you suggest the belief that it is growing older or that it is sick?
Understand the nature of your body and do not abuse it. It is the abiding place for the very Spirit of God. It is made up of intelligent cells that respond to your commands. Direct it wisely. Urge and encourage your body to manifest the perfect nature of God that is within you.
An energetic starter is one who gets things done. Wonderful opportunities open up for those who do overcome their initial inertia and become energetic self-starters.
Do you find that some mornings your mind seems filled with cobwebs? Drowsiness is encouraged by inactivity and slow movement. If you really want to clear your mind for action, vigorously and suddenly start doing something. Enthusiasm stirs you to action.
Enthusiasm is a divine quality that is within you. Turn it on by starting your day vigorously. Be an energetic starter. You can! Stir up that gift of enthusiasm that is within you. It is “the magic something” that not only enables you to accomplish your work, but also attracts to you all the help you need to get things done.
Are there times when you feel a sense of fatigue and tiredness, times when you just seem to lack the energy and vitality to do what needs to be done? Learn to use a bit of preventive therapy.
(1) Acknowledge that God’s unlimited life is within you, constantly renewing your energy and strength.
(2) Refuse to think about how much you have to do. Instead, make a list, putting the most important things first. Then begin. Give attention to one thing at a time only. You will be pleasantly surprised at your increased efficiency.
(3) Stop talking about your tiredness and fatigue. Take a few moments to turn your attention to God in you. Give thanks for God’s presence, and you will feel a new surge of strength.
(4) Pray the following affirmative prayer during the day:
MY ENERGY IS UNLIMITED, FOR GOD IS EXPRESSING THROUGH ME, WITHOUT STRESS AND STRAIN, IN PURPOSEFUL AND PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITY.
