With a mind full of thoughts than run like a stampede of horses, how is it possible to know happiness? When the restless mind is brought to a still point through concentration on God, the stampeding horses stop to drink from the waters of the soul's joy.

The key to freedom, security, and happiness is forged from the practice of letting go of self-will. Without that key, much of our energy is spent trying to get what we want, or avoid what we don't want. Imagine being free of all that. You are the locksmith.

Faith springs forth from the ground of intuitive knowing. Though it may not be verified by mind and senses, we can know what is true and can live by it. As we do, not only does our faith grow stronger, but we do also.

The feeling of being overwhelmed, experiencing life as a burden with too much to do, is not caused by work. At the root of this difficulty is a break from living in harmony with our deepest values. When we live in accordance with our soul's wisdom, we are inwardly sustained.
