I have many clients to send to this list! I have been focusing lately on what we therapists call the cognitive therapy verses: Philippians 4:6-7 (New International Version, ©2010) 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. and Philippians 4:8-9 (New International Version, ©2010) 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Thanks for such a helpful list! I love this Trevor. I have many clients to send to this list!

I like to make connections with Christians who are encouragers. I am a Christian and I ( along with a friend ) blog about how to "live your life to FULL BLOOM" for mostly women readers. It's called Blooming Boomers and focusing on the positive is just ONE of the things we blog about. I enjoyed your post here and will be back. On Wednesday we're starting a "workshop" entitled, "Joyfully Balanced". Sandy I just signed up for your newsletter. I like to make connections with Christians who are encouragers.

Is this what is meant by "the violent take it by force"? I perceive that the difficulty lies in reconciling two realities - the present environment(s) and our ultimate destination. While I appreciate the example of Brother Lawrence, like you I doubt that God is calling us to become monks exactly; but that is often the impulse I feel i.e. wanting to withdraw from it all. As usual, thank you for sharing inspiration. It is an encouragement that all is not lost. God is still on His Throne and has made us Partners In Victory! Marvin Brother Trev

A challenge indeed! Is this what is meant by “the violent take it by force”? I perceive that the difficulty lies in reconciling two realities – the present environment(s) and our ultimate destination.

While I appreciate the example of Brother Lawrence, like you I doubt that God is calling us to become monks exactly; but that is often the impulse I feel i.e. wanting to withdraw from it all.

As usual, thank you for sharing inspiration. It is an encouragement that all is not lost. God is still on His Throne and has made us Partners In Victory!
