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

Hard Work Can Be Counter Productive

All our lives we have been told that hard work equals success. Certainly we should always do our best and work hard, yet I think we can all point to someone, perhaps you have seen them looking back at you from your own mirror, whom have worked long and very hard yet have little materially to show for it. I will leave the secular discussion on this point for another day, but spiritually hard work and struggling to succeed are in fact counterproductive, impediments to growth. Successful prayer and meditation, which leads to successful demonstrations, is quiet and gentle. To quote Emmet Fox, “Pray with a feather- not a pickax.” Though we may be filled with fear and trepidation, we should always pray in the manner we would like to be treated in, gently with kindness, patience, tolerance and love.
