The right way to pray for the answer to all your problems is to feel and know that the Indwelling God knows only the answer. Because this is true, you will know the answer and recall the truth: God never faileth. - Joseph Murphy
"There is no need to go back and pick up the problem and worry it some more, like a dog with a bone. ... I give my problems to God with absolute confidence that solutions are on the way."
It's when I overthink things that I get into trouble. Work the program. Follow my food plan. Keep it simple. Do the things that work for you: get enough sleep, go for a walk, get to the gym, avoid putting myself in harm's way.
Last night, I was at the Museum of Anthropology. There were so many handmade things of such incredible beauty. Totem poles that soar metres in the air - so high that I have to lean back, almost too far for balance, to see the carvings at the top. Jewelry so intricate, so stunning, that the shining silver bathes me in a moonlight glow. Baskets so precise that the weaving appears to take solid form. Clothing so beautifully designed and decorated that it seems love is in every thread, every stitch, every bead. Weapons so beautiful they are honourable. These represent the human imagination, the human craft. What if I took as much care with my body as these artisans do with their materials? And my very body shall be a temple. Hear my prayer, o Lord.
