When you are praying or “treating” about a particular thing, you should handle it, mentally, very carefully indeed. The ideal way is not to think about it at all except when you are actually praying about it. Moreover, to talk to other people about it is exceedingly likely to invite failure.
When a new problem presents itself to you, decline to consider it except in the light of Truth. I call this “putting a subject in quarantine.” Even an old long-standing problem can be “put in quarantine” today, if you mean business and will resolutely break the habit of constantly thinking over that problem.
Whenever you think about any subject, you are treating it with your thought; either for good or evil.
The lip of truth shall be established forever. (Proverbs 12:19)
Aside from the ability to resolve new problems, just think of the blessed relief this process provides from long-standing issues that nag at our daily life. Just think of the freedom from burdened thoughts, the improvements to the quality of our daily lives and the renewed joy and peace we enjoy when we limit our treatment of our problems to times of prayer. And one last thing, just think of the increased prayer time such treatment creates, as we spend more time with God in the place where no evil can harm us.
That place is the garden God created for us, and when we walk there with Him , we find all the peace, freedom and joy that God intends for us.
Just think!
