Even knowing that all of our woes, past and future, are birthed in our mind, I am often amused to find me resisting my favorite line, "Most important is the discovery that all my problems can be solved by spiritual principles." (By "resisting," I mean, of course, that I find myself worrying, judging, fretting.)
We must needs look under those words for starving to death in a ditch, thinking the Father will provide, will not bring us eggs over easy, bacon on the side. No. If we should find our self starving to death in a ditch with not a hope of help, it is near impossible for our reasoning mind to accept that food is not our primary need. In truth, praying for food then is like throwing gasoline on a brush fire...it enflames our fear.
Our primary need is to still our fearful mind, and quieting our mind with the spiritual principle the Father will provide can bring our head and heart peace even as we lie dying. (How we die is utterly immaterial since we for sure will...although I admit I'm always opting for "in my sleep.")
There it is. God's will for us is that we live in peace within our self. Up there in our head, no matter what, to know and to show that God has our back...all ways and always...is the peace that passes all understanding.
Thank you.
