A few years ago I was working in the logging industry, which I had always enjoyed, but gradually I began to run into discordant conditions when dealing with certain people. One situation became very bad, with feelings of domination, self-importance, and incompetency, so that the joy I had in my work was destroyed. The location and nature of the work was ideal; the problem was strictly a case of a discordant relationship. Months went by, my experience getting fearfully worse and worse. In a moment of extreme depression I became aware that religion might help, for I had heard that one's experience could be improved by prayer.

I memorized the twenty-third Psalm and this statement from Philippians (4:13): "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me." I held to these thoughts several times a day, and in a few weeks I was free of the cloud of depression and discouragement.

I found for myself that prayer does bring immediate blessings to human experience.
