 WE ARE so helpless on the surface, but we can all retire to the Hidden Strength. When we retire to the Hidden Strength, we take our stand in Omnipotence. When we take our stand in Omnipotence, we become surrounded by the Presence of God. When we are surrounded by the Presence of God, it moves forward with us, as we move forward to meet life’s experiences. Then, the hills of our difficulty “melt like wax at the Presence of the Lord, at the Presence of the Lord of the whole earth.” WE ARE so helpless on the surface, but we can all retire to the Hidden Strength.

 This is exactly the same as all other teachings on the subject, by those who know the Truth which makes us free. Our Lord said that we should cease our anxious thought, and that we should seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all needed things would be added unto us. This is exactly the same as all other teachings on the subject, by those who know the Truth which makes us free.

 Yes, it is when we are able to stop the wheel of our thought and imagination, that the action of God takes place. Then it is that healing comes to our life and consciousness, harmoniously and beautifully, like the rising of the sun on a beautiful spring morning. No effort, no strain, no violence, but night gives place to dawn, and dawn to the full orbed day. Yes, it is when we are able to stop the wheel of our thought and imagination, that the action of God takes place.
