Spiritual thoughts for the week:

 October 2

"Thy will be done" must be your oft-repeated prayer. And in the willing of God's will there should be gladness. You should delight to do that will because when you do, all your life goes right and everything tends to work well for you in the long run. When you are honestly trying to do God's will and humbly accepting the results, nothing can seriously hurt you. Those who accept the will of God in their lives may not inherit the earth, but they will inherit real peace of mind.

October 5

All your movements, your going and comings can be guided by the Unseen Spirit. Every visit to help another, every unselfish effort to assist, can be blessed by that Unseen spirit. There can be a blessing on all you do, on every interview with one who is suffering. Every meeting of a need may not be a chance meeting, but it may have been planned by the Unseen Spirit.  [excerpt]

October 6 No Buts

When the devil has been unmasked a number of times, his final
refuge seems to be the harmless-looking word BUT.

"Of course I know that God is the only power - but -."

"Of course I know that God is omnipresent - but -."

"Of course I know that God is love - but - ."

"Of course I know that there is no hurry becaue I am in eternity - but - ."

October 8  Be Specific!

Write down the things you REALLY wish for. Be specific, not vague. Then write down
underneath the conditions that you wish to remove from your life. If you do this candidly,
you now have an extremely valuable analysis of our own mentality. In the course of time
this will tell you a great many things about yourself that you do not at present suspect,
and as your knowledge of spiritual Truth increases, you will be able to handle the new
knowledge about ourself in a surprising way.
