My son, I feel you are well on your way to doing it. The thing I would suggest is a kind of meditation where you are spending some time each day--always nice in the morning; wonderful way to start the day--to just sit and ponder. Just sit and think, just wonder, “What do I believe?” and try as best you can to express this to yourself--because that then becomes a spiritual event in your life!

You’ve already come so far along the path of wondering: What do I believe?--What do I have faith in? In meditation you are opening yourself to the presence of God within you. You can ask within yourself, “Dear God, what is the truth about”…something that comes up in your mind. As we’ve offered before, one of the most sincere prayers is, “Dear God, what do I do next?”--and that’s ten minutes from now when I get up from my meditation. How do I spend today? What is the best thing to do next?

Student:  Yeah, I guess. I need to spend more time doing it and trying a little harder. I just, you know: it’s kind-of a life-changing thing when the faith--that you were one time so sure of--is gone. I feel alone sometimes. Sometimes I’m unsure of who to pray to.  You know, we were always taught to pray to God in Jesus’ name. I have never really tried meditation and the whole Thought Adjuster concept. While it makes logical sense to me, it’s still hard for me to grab a hold of and understand because at this point I can’t tell if I’m just thinking and hearing my own thoughts. It’s just hard to separate what’s real and what I’m creating myself.  Does that make sense?
