When you center your mind on God and on His truth and abundance, good things will flow toward you rather than away from you.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
I remember when I ceased to be a worrier. It was when my Air Force husband, Allen, had been given an assignment to Istanbul, Turkey. He was to be gone from us for a one year remote assignment. I had to make a conscious decision to focus my energy and attention on God and to trust Him completely for all our needs, at home and abroad. When I began to live in the light of His truth and let go of the negative "what if's", I realized I had stopped worrying. It has been a most wondrous, continuous blessing to not worry. Sure, I have concerns at times, but I have learned to face the unknown with hope. The continuous flow of positive energy, positive thoughts, and positive actions overpower any negative that appears as a brief thought. Yes, the negative thoughts come, but I release them immediately and replace them, instead with positive ones. As I commit my energy and efforts to Him, I am blessed. God's bounty of prosperity and love encircles me like a soft, warm blanket wrapped around me. Within His loving will, I have all I need because of God's law of supply.
Face the Unknown with Hope
By: Nan Forehand
Many times over the years
life is glimpsed through bitter tears.
A wretched existence with no hope,
clinging to a single tenuous thread.
‘Tis a lonely place
a dark, worldly abyss.
O to be cherished by one
so worthy and true;
a love strong enough to unlock
the shackles of fear surrounding a heart.
A miracle to behold
to leave fear at His feet
Nevermore in a corner to cower.
Instead, kneeling humbly in the light
of a love wondrous and bright,
with trembling hands
folded close to the heart
words trickle out
as a clear mountain stream.
In return, transformed by love and peace
eager to serve and spread The Word.
Love and encouragement to all
repaid a hundred times over.
That dark, worldly abyss
no longer to exist.
