Moving Forward

We run into stumbling blocks everywhere we go – until we get on the pathway of Light.  So we get on this pathway of Light, and we begin to grow.  We begin to gain understanding.  And then suddenly we don’t seem to grow anymore.  Things don’t seem to happen.  We’re not moving ahead.  We get uptight.  We begin to ask, “What’s wrong?”  Once again, we’ve run into a closed door.

To speed your development, to begin opening the door, just say, “Thank you, God.”  Say it a thousand times for everything you have.  “Thank you, God, for this and that.”  Repeat it over and over, and the door will swing open.  But it will be a different door than the one you have been programming for yourself, the one you think is the right door.  By saying, “Thank you, God” and repeating it over and over – a thousand times, maybe a million times – another door will open that will be even more brilliant than one you could envision.  (from Leading a Life of Prayer)
