We will carry out
therefore the object of our Father, the Great Spirit.

When
we sincerely took such a position, all sorts of remarkable things followed. We
had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept
close to Him and performed His work well. Established on such a footing we
became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs.
More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life.
As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we
could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began
to lose fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.

On
awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans
for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially
asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives.
Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for
after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much
higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.
