Jesus knew that the only way to “be not troubled” is to gain a truer idea of life as spiritual and of each of us as children of God rather than mortal men and women.
I could refuse to let fearful suggestions stir up my thinking. Instead, I could listen for, and yield to, the reassuring messages that God is always imparting.
It was God’s grace that healed me and made my simple prayer light up a more spiritual love in me. I was instantly freed of hatred, and I felt filled with a sense of unity with all that is good.
