It is suggested that we “think from the end” when confronted with
life’s challenges. Having embarked on the path of Living on the
Spiritual Basis, we now know that at the “end” the solution for every
difficulty or problem is God. We can turn to God at any point along the
way, but the sooner the better. Think of it this way; wherever we
travel there is the shortest, most direct route; any other path is
taking the long way round. Sometimes when traveling the long way round
is preferable, better scenery, more interesting sights, friends along
the way, etc. When suffering however this is never the case yet
it is exactly what most people do! They dawdle along rehashing and retelling their
story of woe to anyone who will listen, engaging in angry recrimination
and /or self pity while wallowing in morbid reflection. Only when we place our feet
squarely on the path, raising our consciousness through prayer and meditation, resisting the temptation to outline the
solution, seeking only the knowledge of His will for us and the power to
carry that out do we triumph. God can and will solve all our problems
and difficulties, if we will rely upon Him, so when troubled
we take the road less traveled and turn to God immediately in prayer and meditation, avoiding the
“the long way round” of resentment, suffering, blame and morbid
reflection. And always remember, if we find ourselves on the wrong road, the off-ramp is just a prayer away.
