Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Keep your mind stayed on God, keep your mind stayed on truth, thought by thought. — Martha Smock
When we keep our focus on God, particularly when we’re in the throes of turmoil, we clearly see the path to take. No problem’s solution will elude us for long when we rely on our Higher Power for strength, guidance, and clear vision.
We often forget that our thoughts are within our realm of conscious control; we too often sit idle as if our thoughts are happening to us. It’s true, someone else is in control: God is in charge and has left our thoughts to us, along with our attitudes and our behavior. By keeping watch on our thoughts and choosing those that are hopeful, positive, and loving, we can powerfully influence every aspect of our life.
We generally complicate our life by the attention we give our random thoughts, but there’s nothing complicated about quieting our mind. The power of simply visualizing the light of God’s spiritual presence surrounding us is astounding.
I can change my life today. My only need is to think quietly of God.
