Curing Anxiety
When we worry about the distress of nations
or stand in judgement of anything, we condemn ourselves. We certainly
know that God never takes sides, supporting some opinions while
depriving others of enlightenment. The light of Truth and Love
just shines.
The world appears to be in chaos, and it looks like we all have
our own opinions about it, but opinions express ignorance of
the all-knowing Mind and are really a distress call for help.
When Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?" was not he
searching for God? Jesus could have answered him, but Pilate
turned and walked away, overwhelmed by the magnitude of his own
question. As a direct result of his halting receptivity to truth,
Pilate was anxious about what to do with Jesus and uncertain
of his own future as governor. When Cain confronted Abel, he
was screaming for a way to stop being overcome by his insatiable
personal ego. Because he refused to offer genuine gratitude to
God for the gift of life, Cain condemned the life of his brother
and, so, lost his way and was cast out of his family circle -
anxious and alone.
Every imperfection that you are aware of is an urgent call for
prayerful help. Instead of judging, feeling helpless or hopeless,
search for the Light that is equipped with an answer of peace.
Be willing to receive that Light and to follow wherever it leads,
taking no thought. If someone has wronged you, they are really
begging you to pray for them - to relieve them of their blind
hatred of Truth - even though they are ignorant of this asking.
Cherishing your so-called enemy dissolves your judgement of them,
for you cannot love and judge at the same time. You will find
that you have no time for entertaining opinions; persecutions
will not hurt you, and the body will perform its normal functions
without your thought about it. God preserves His own likeness
in perfect harmony without any cognizance of deadly beliefs or
opinions.
God offers direction and purpose to our
lives, not to reward our accomplishments but to perfect our praise
of Life, Truth, and Love.
