with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)

From Around the Year with Emmet Fox

Study and research are well in their own time and place, but no amount of either will get you out of a concrete difficulty. Nothing but practical work in your own consciousness will do that.

Scientific prayer is the Golden Key to harmony and happiness. You need to take no one's word for it, and you should not. Simply try it for yourself and see.

Whoever you are, where ever yo may be, the Golden Key to harmony is in your hand now. This is because it is God who works, and not you, and so your particular limitations or weaknesses are of no account in the process. you are only the channel through which the divine action takes place, and your part is first to get yourself out of the way.

The actual method of working is simplicity itself. All that you have to do is this: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead. This is the complete rule, and if only you will do this, the trouble, whatever it is, will presently disappear, It may be big or little, it may concern health, finance, a lawsuit, a quarrel, an accident, or anything else conceivable; but whatever it is, just stop thinking about it, and think of God instead- that is all you have to do.

The thing could not be simpler, could it? And yet it never fails to work when given a fair trial.
...with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)
