We are constantly treating everything in our lives with the thoughts we
entertain,
if we believe we are defeated, we are. We are asking for failure if we
believe in failure, we are in fact treating for MORE failure, even while
praying for success! How can that be? No one wants to fail,
but if we pray and then spend the rest of the day entertaining negative
fearful thoughts, we are in fact treating for more failure. Remember the admonition
“As a man thinks.”
What we dwell on, spend
our time reflecting on, we manifest in our lives, Period. No one
manifests peace, prosperity, health and happiness in their lives if they
continue to focus on strife, lack, sickness and sadness. All prayers are
heard, but if we ask not really believing, for any reason, our prayer
will be answered in the manner asked; our lack of faith rewarded. So when
we feel even the slightest twinge of doubt, we must 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 we pray
with all our heart and expect to receive, but we don’t limit God by
outlining in our mind how we think our prayers should be answered. When
outlining we become so fixed looking in one direction
we overlook anything that does not fit
our imagined solution. So trust God’s unlimited vision and refuse to be limited by outlining.
In the movie
Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade there is a nice
visualization of this teaching: Indiana is on the brink of finding the
Holy Grail.
He has surmounted monumental difficulties to reach this point where he
finds himself looking across a chasm that appears impossible to cross.
He reaches into his pocket and retrieves his father's note book,
looking for guidance he opens the book to the page that describes the challenge facing him, and "Step out in
faith" is written there. Closing his eyes, with fear and trepidation, he
steps out into
space and discovers the bridge had always been there, it was just
invisible from his perspective. Faith is like that. Trust in God and
when that
inner voice screams: Are you nuts! There’s no frakking bridge! Step out in faith.
