[The following is a reprint of my post of December 3, 2013, with today's postscript.]
We are told the promises of God will always materialize if we work for them.
Why is it so hard to remember that the "working" for them is the "work" of maintaining conscious contact with our God? It is the work of aligning our will with his will, of detaching from our self-centered wants by trusting that our always-of-God needs are already met...are within us waiting to be released.

As we are released from our ego-victory wants, our needs flow forth, materializing as that which we need in that moment. And we think, "What a coincidence! I was just saying...."

Thank you.
P.S. We get no vote in how we are to live the spiritual life...to live God's will. We do the next thing...when wrong, we promptly admit it, then do the next thing. In short, trust God and make the bed.
