You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.

I believe that ultimately it all comes down to whether we seek conscious contact with God on a daily basis through prayer and meditation.

The spiritual journey has to do with learning to think more deeply and take as long a time as we need. That's the path to wisdom.

Again--nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth.

First there was the word. A Course in Miracles says that prayer is the "medium of miracles." It's the realm of thought where we are aligned with the thought of God and therefore in a co- creative mode. It's where we surrender our minds to His mind and become empowered.

We are so trained in the thought system of fear and attack that we get to the point where natural thinking - love - feels unnatural and unnatural thinking - fear - feels natural. It takes real discipline and training to unlearn the thought system of fear.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.
