Work by rehearsing everything that you know about God. God is Wisdom, Truth, inconceivable Love. God is present everywhere; has infinite power; knows everything. It matters not how well you may think you understand these things; go over them repeatedly.
The rule is to think about God, and if you are thinking about your difficulty you are not thinking about God. To be continually glancing over your shoulder in order to see how matters are progressing is fatal, because that is thinking of the trouble, and you must think of God, and of nothing else. Your object is to drive the thought of the difficulty right out of your consciousness, for a few moments at least, substituting for it the thought of God. If you can become so absorbed in this consideration of the spiritual world that you really forget for a while all about the trouble concerning which you began to pray, you will presently find that your trouble falls into new perspective, new relationships, so that it is no longer a difficulty.
…thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all (Nehemiah 9:6).
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? (Job 31:4).
Now we know about the Golden Key (think, God) and about how it is to be used. However, it is we who must turn the key and unlock the gates to our gardens. To walk in love, peace and hope each day, all we must do is use this key. Yet many will not accept the key and many will refuse to use the key, because it is difficult to let go of the negativity to which we are so accustomed.
When we let go of this negativity, deserved or not, then we let God take over and thereby walk with God in the Eden created for us. Nothing less will do, nothing more is required.
Turnkey for joy,
Z gardener
