What’s the first thing I should do when a problem presents itself? I always feel worried and stressed out.
We ask for divine help when we need it, but not when the situation is within our own power to resolve. Too often we have the feeling that no matter what comes up, there must be an easy way out. Instead of using our God-given creative abilities to figure out a way to overcome the problem, we want someone else to take care of it. We are actually cheating ourselves as spiritual beings.
A person who is operating at his absolute best will ask, What resources has Divine Spirit put at my disposal so that I can solve the problem myself? By doing this, he knows that he is exercising his spiritual muscles.
