Thoughts for the week:

September 13

When you call on God in prayer to help you overcome weakness, sorrow, pain discord, and conflict, God never fails in some way to answer the appeal... The power you need will come simply, naturally, and forcefully... The spirit of prayer can alter an atmosphere from one of discord to one of reconciliation. It will raise the quality of thought and word and bring order out of chaos.

September 14  Life

You experience life when you feel yourself to be free and useful and joyous, and unconscious of either fear or doubt. Everyone has known such periods. Though they are much rarer than they should be, those are the times you were alive. At other times you did not have life, in the Spiritual sense.

Confidence means to have faith in something. We could not live without confidence in others. When you have confidence in God's grace, you can face whatever comes... Try to rest in God's presence until His life-power flows through you. Be still and in that stillness the still, small Voice will come. It speaks in quietness to the human mind that is attuned to it influence.

September 18  The Art Of Concentration

The only subject that matters is getting an understanding of Truth, developing our souls; but in order to develop our souls we must have some knowledge of the power of concentration. If you can learn and practice right concentration, there is no good thing in the universe that you cannot attain. Concentration means literally "bringing to a common center." Until you can put your attention where you want it you have not become master of yourself. You will never be happy until you can determine what you are going to think about for the next hour...

You always concentrate on what your are interested in.
