“THE BEGINNING OF FREEDOM is the realization that you are not the processing entity – the thinker. Knowing this enables you to observe the entity.

“I can depend on God to supply me with all the power I need to face any situation, provided that I will sincerely believe in that power and honestly ask for it, while at the same time, making all my life conform to what I believe God wants me to be.

I pray that I may believe that God is ready and willing to supply me with all that I need. I pray that I may ask only for faith and strength to meet any situation.”
