“Again, playing Mr. Big Shot failed, and caused pain and suffering.”

“The more idols we pursue, the emptier our life becomes. When we devote more of ourselves to cultivating our conscious contact with God, we fill an inner void. We develop a new trust that all of our needs will be supplied; we often find material possessions, good friends, good health, and good sense coming our way. Whatever I plan to do today, I will remember to seek God's will for me first.”

“When confronted with a difficult decision, flip a coin and imagine that you will be committed to the alternative the spin lands on. Then notice your gut reaction to the result. If you feel delighted, that is your path. If you are disappointed, go with the other alternative. The spirit of inner joy is the best compass. Today, help me to be in touch with my heart’s desires; that I may trust Your Divine guidance moves me in the direction of my highest good.”

“God is with you, to bless and help you. His spirit is all around you. Waver not in your faith or in your prayers. All power is the Lord's. Say that to yourself often and steadily. Say it until your heart sings with joy for the safety and personal power that it means to you. Say it until the very force of the utterance drives back and puts to naught all the evils against you. Use it as a battle cry. All power is the Lord's. Then you will pass on to victory over all your sins and temptations, and you will begin to live a victorious life. Prayer for the Day I pray that with strength from God I may lead an abundant life. I pray that I may lead a life of victory.”
