Thoughts for the week:

June 5 Only Your Own Thoughts

No matter what problem you may have to face today, there is a solution, because you have nothing to deal with but your own thoughts.

Your life has been given to you mainly for the purpose of training your soul. This life we live is not so much for the body as for the soul. We often choose the way of life that best suits the body, not the way that suits the soul. God wants you to choose what suits the soul as well as the body. Accept this belief and a wonderful molding of character is the result... Thus the purpose of your life is being accomplished.

Within you is an inexhaustible source of power, if you can but contact it. That power can heal you, and it can inspire you by telling you what to do and how to do it. It can give you peace of mind, and, above all, it can give you direct knowledge of God. That power is scientific prayer. There is no problem that prayer cannot overcome and no good thing tha tit cannot bring into your life.
