Thank God We're Rich!

Day 21 of Round 2

One of the things that prevents us from trusting the Divine is fear.

If we think about it, we might say we have fears about getting old and being poor, about not being able to provide the immediate neccessities for our families, not being good enough for our employers, or to be employed, not finding love and many other things. When we really look at these, they are not separate things -- they are just fear itself.

Dr. Holmes called fear "negative prayer." If we spend a good deal of our time worrying, we are actually telling The Universe we want more of what we are worrying about. What we focus on is what we get to experience.

How do we get out of fear? Think about something else instead.

Declare right now that part of your mind is your not-so-silent witness. Command it to gently, easily and humorously remind you everytime you start down a fear path. Start thinking about God instead.

Don't tell God how big your problems are -- tell your problems how big your God is!!

And thank God we're rich!!
