From my e-devotional:


 



Today's thought is:


No matter what faces us -- an unhappy relationship, a serious operation or illness, a feeling of uselessness or helplessness -- it is vital to realize that there is a solution.


We must not expect that the solution to our problem will bring us immediate peace of mind. Focusing our energies and emotions on the answer -- not the problem -- will, however, alleviate much of the futility and frustration we feel.


A medical doctor, George S. Stevenson, wrote, "The solution may not give you everything you want. Sometimes, it may give you nothing but a chance to start all over again. But whatever little it gives you is much more than you give yourself by letting your emotions tear you apart. "


Today I will focus my energies and emotions on the solution, not the problem. I will allow the solution to flow through me, with the help of my Higher Power, knowing there is a satisfactory answer to my difficulty.
