To utter "God" with devotion, and increase the concentration
and devotion with each repetition of His name, is to plunge the mind deeper and
deeper in the ocean of His presence until one reaches fathomless depths of
divine peace and ecstatic joy, the sure proof that one's prayers have touched
God.
When we are hit with difficulties we react upon our environment first,
making whatever material adjustments we believe may help. But when we come to
the point of saying, "Everything I have tried so far has failed; what to
do next?" we start to think hard about a solution. When we think deeply
enough, we find an answer within. This is one form of answered prayer.
Remember, greater than a million reasonings of the mind is to sit and
meditate upon God until you feel calmness within. Then say to the Lord, "I
can't solve my problem alone, even if I thought a zillion different thoughts;
but I can solve it by placing it in your hands, asking first for your guidance,
and then following through by thinking out the various angles for a possible
solution." God does help those who help themselves. When your mind is calm
and filled with faith after praying to God in meditation, you are able to see
various answers to your problems; and because your mind is calm, you are
capable of picking out the best solution. Follow that solution, and you will
meet with success. This is applying the science of religion in your daily life.
