When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

NO FRAKKING BRIDGE!


We are constantly treating everything in our lives by the thoughts we entertain, if we believe we are defeated, we are. We are asking for failure if we believe in failure, in fact treating for MORE failure, even though we may at the same time be praying, haltingly, for success! How can this be, no one wants to fail, it transpires because even though we pray, we spend the rest of the day entertaining negative fearful thoughts! “As a man thinketh" the lesson on reaping and sowing showcased. What we dwell on, spend our time reflecting on, we manifest in our lives, Period. We will never manifest peace, prosperity, health and happiness in our lives if we continue to focus on strife, lack, sickness and sadness. To be clear: All prayers are heard, but when we ask not really believing, for any reason, the prayer will be answered in the manner asked; our lack of faith rewarded. So, when we feel even the slightest twinge of doubt, we stop and treat the doubt with prayer before praying further! We do not allow ourselves the illusion that by pretending it is not there deals with it. So pray with all your heart and expect to receive, but don’t limit God by outlining in your mind how you think your prayers will or should be answered. When outlining we miss God’s will, we are so fixed looking in one direction we overlook anything that doesn‘t fit our vision. Trust God’s unlimited vision and refuse to be limited by outlining.

A scene from a classic movie demonstrates this nicely: Indiana Jones is on the brink of finding the Holy Grail. He has surmounted monumental difficulties to reach this point but now stands looking down a chasm that appears impossible to cross, but he must cross it or his father will die. He opens his "father's " book looking for inspiration and reads “Step out in faith.” Closing his eyes, with fear and trepidation, he steps out into the void. As his foot lands on something solid, he discovers the bridge had always been there, merely beyond his limited vision. Faith is like that, so trust in God and refuse to entertain that inner voice screaming: Are you nuts! There’s no frakking bridge!
