On awakening,
let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead.
We ask God
to direct our thinking,
especially asking that it be divorced from
self-pity
and from dishonest or self-seeking motives.
Free of these, we
can employ our
mental faculties with assurance,
for God gave us brains
to use.
Our thought life will be on a higher plane
when our thinking
begins to
be cleared of wrong motives.
If we have to determine
which of
the two courses to take,
we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive
thought,
or a decision. Then we relax and take it easy,
and we are often
surprised how the right answers
come after we have tried this for a
while.
We usually conclude our meditation with a prayer
that we be shown
all through the day
what our next step is to be,
asking especially for
freedom from damaging self-will.
