SHARING SOME UPLIFTING THOUGHTS from DR NORMAN VINCENT PEALE (to Give Comfort, Strength and Peace of Mind in Times of Trial and Struggle)
Submitters Note:
These are some notes that I wrote down many years ago in a very dark period of my life . . . a time of prolonged great hardship in a seemingly impossibly difficult situation, which I’m “passing on”. (I think they were from Norman Vincent Peace, the author of the Power of Positive Thinking). Yes, on checking my notes these words from Dr Peale’s ‘Self Help Book’ of Thought Conditioners (from the Bible) served to sustain and encourage me to “hang in there” with hope, faith and persistence. And I hope they may do the same for you . . . whatever situation you may find yourself in.
Hope these thoughts are not “too heavy-heavy religious” for you.
The light of God will be with you on the path up ahead.
*
Christianity has its roots in the mystery of eternal life. This faith is a way of understanding the unknowable. Wanted to understand the cycle of life, death and rebirth.
However, one has to be a believer to “get into different levels of understanding”… which is achieved through the immense power of faith.
“If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed…nothing shall be impossible to you . . . ”
“According to your faith, be it unto you.” – Matthew ix.290
“If God be for us, who can be against us?” – Romans viii.31
(and you may as well be too!!!)
Simply affirm:” God is with me in this situation; God is helping me; God is guiding me.
Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat you. BELIEVE that you now receive power from Him.
“Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except God. God alone is sufficient.”
Thomas Carlyle: “Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.”
“
I was in a situation where I had to make a decision: an intellectual, rational one (of the mind), or that of some kind of spiritual discipline and faith. The first (selling Sky subscriptions) one was easy, the second, the writing path) hard. The first is about ego, the second about the battle inside you that gives life meaning.
I chose the hardest path – it was like having wings. I wanted to look at everything another way.
It’s no specific faith. It could be any religion – it’s a deep belief in God, the human spirit.” – the words of Ingrid Betancourt (Colombian hostage)
Faith is a choice It’s a decision It’s a commitment
“The just shall live by faith – Romans 1:16,17
MATTHEW: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” *
LIFE’S PROBLEMS
1. Believe, really believe, that for every problem, there is a solution (and very often it’s a spiritual one).
2. Keep calm. Tension blocks the flow of thought power. Your brain cannot operate efficiently under too much stress.
3. Don’t try to force an answer. Keep the mind relaxed and the solution will become clear. List the facts of the problem on paper – be objective, so that your problem does not become subjective.
Be patient waiting for an answer, a solution …which comes via the subconscious mind
6. Pray about your problem, affirming that God will flash illumination into your mind. Believe God’s promise in the 73rd Psalm: “Thou wilt guide thee by thou counsel.”
7. Trust fully in the faculty of insight and intuition.
Go to church (and/or meditate) and let your subconscious work on the problem.
There is always a close connection between how a man thinks and how he feels. In addition, there is impressive evidence to support the view that God works through both the practitioner of science, the doctor, and the practitioner of faith, the minister (mind-body relationship). The answer is in the healing teachings of Jesus.
“Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm XVI.10
“In him we live and move and have our being.” – Acts xvii.28
By faith you place yourself in the flow of divine power.
William James: “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” As you think, so shall you be. fill your mind with fresh new creative thoughts of faith, love and goodness.”
1. Don’t get the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. Don’t strain so hard. Don’t take yourself so seriously.
2. Determine to like your work. Change yourself and your work will seem different.
3. Plan your work and work your plan.
4. Don’t try to do everything at once: “This one thing I do.”
5. Get the right mental attitude.
6. Practice being relaxed – take it all in your stride.
William James: “One of the deepest drives of human nature is the desire to be appreciated.”
“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peacably with all men.’ – Romans xii.18
It is not advisable to attempt to carry the burden of sorrow and mental pain without Divine help; for it’s weight is more than the personality can bear. There is always the soothing presence of God at hand.
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” – I Corinthians ii.9
Socrates: “No evil can befall a good man in this life or in the next.”
* State your problem
* Ask for a specific answer. Believe that you are getting that answer. BELIEVE, really believe that now through God’s help, you are gaining power over that difficulty.
Higher Power/Authority
If there is deep desire, intensity of longing, and a reaching out after the Power, it will be given.
We may never meet in person, but in this book we have met. We are spiritual friends. I pray for you, God will help you – so believe and live successfully.
Jesus Christ: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John X 10.

PRAYER
Prayer helps people to tap forces and to utilise strength not otherwise available.
A famous psychologist once said these wise words: “Prayer is the greatest power available to the individual in solving his personal problems. It’s power astonishes me.” Release of spiritual energy through prayer. It releases and keeps power flowing freely.
“According to your faith, be it unto you.” – Matthew ix.29
“What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” – Mark xi.24
Faith and harmony are important factors in the prayer process.
Hard work, positive thinking, fair dealing, right treatment of people, and the proper kind of praying always gets results. Formula: * Prayerise + * Picturise + * Actualise
The Kingdom of God is within you.” – Luke xvii.21
Prayer is the mightiest power in the world. Every day is good if you pray.
Always accept willingness to accept God’s will in your life. Ask for what you want; but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you ask for.
Prayer: I believe I am always divinely guided I believe I will always take the right turn of the road.
I believe God will always make a way when there is no way.
A P R P B W P R A: Affirmative prayers release powers by which positive results are accomplished. PEACEWORK

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.” – John xiv.27
“Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile.” – Mark vi.31
Discipline ourselves to quietness. Slow down, quiet down. do not fume, do not fret, practise being peaceful.
“The peace of God which passeth all understanding.” – Philippians ix.7
Life can get muddled, but muddied water, let stand, will become clear.” – Lao-tse
Practise serenity
Affirm: “God is here and his peace is touching me.”
“Come unto me, all that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew xi.28
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” – John xiv.27
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.” – Isaiah xxvi.3
Tranquillity – the very word denotes a sense of peace.
So long thy power hath kept me, sure it STILL will lead me on. Send into the area of your thinking a healing balm.
With God’s help I am now emptying my mind of all fear, all anxiety, all insecurity. Repeat. Picture all worry thoughts flowing out of you.
I place this day, my life, my loved ones in the Lord’s hands.
“… but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians iii.13-14
Mark in your Bible every passage that speaks of faith, hope, happiness, glory and radiance. Commit each to memory.
When Jesus Christ was born He was called Immanuel, meaning God with us.
* PRAYER
EXPECT THE BEST AND GET IT
“If thou can’st believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” – Mark IX 23
Whatever you believe you can do, you can do, with God’s help. When you put your trust in God, he guides your mind so that you do not want things that are not good for you, or that are inharmonious with God’s will. When you learn to believe, then that which has seemingly been impossible moves into the area/becomes possible. When you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind, which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to you.
Faith moves mountains: Faith, belief, positive thinking, faith in God, faith in other people, faith in yourself, faith in life.
Freed from self doubt, you can put your whole self into your endeavour, and nothing can stand in the way of the man or woman, who focuses their entire self on a problem. Expect to succeed and you WILL.
“Throw your heart over the bar and your body will follow.”
Expect the best, not the worst, and you will attain your heart’s desire. It is what is in the heart of you, either good or bad, weak or strong, that finally comes to you. Emerson: “Beware of what you want, for you will get it.” faith power works wonders.
Have faith in God. “For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea.”
– Mark 11
“But shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” – Mark XI. 22-23
Be specific. Ask God for any right thing, but as a little child, don’t doubt…NEVER.
* STRENGTH
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
– Phillipians iv.13
“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.”
“A clean mind, as a clean engine, always delivers power.”
A fundamental doctrine of Emerson: the human personality can be touched with Divine Power and thus greatness can be released from it.
“The greatest factor in any undertaking is one’s belief about it.”
– William James
Thoreau: the secret of achievement is to hold a picture of a successful outcome in mind.
Jefferson: “Take the smooth handle”…ie. follow the path of least resistance.
RELAX. Affirm the thought that God is filling us with strength and quiet energy. Get yourself in tune with Him and open yourself to the flow of His power.
Give your job all you’ve got, but in a relaxed manner.
“According to your faith be it unto you.” – Matthew ix.29 is a basic law for successful living.
“The just shall live by faith – Romans 1:16,17
“YOU are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.” – Isaiah 40.28-31.

or Beethoven composed music, or
Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well
that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well.”
– Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hi
MANY MORE COMMENTS OVERNIGHT ( hundreds of thousands already, together with my various other blogs at http://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/craigs-blogs-and-writings/
and http://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/ – True!)
so having to remove some to “make space in cyberspace”
“Total non-techno”
craig
Firstly, thanks for the feedback to you all, and this article and web site has really “seemed to have struck a chord” with so many of you “out there in cyberspace.”. However, it also means that I’m being swamped by “spam/thanks mail”
So I can’t post ALL the messages I get each day, though I do try to read as many as “poss”.
Still I’m pleased you readers are enjoying these thoughts (why I write) and I do APPRECIATE the feedback. Will try to read as many responses as I can each day.
and approve a few each day (seeing you’ve taken the “trouble” to write in and say ‘thanks’). I really DO appreciate the positive feedback – the reason I write my various articles and books at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=la_B005GGMAW4_sr?rh=i%3Abooks&field-author=Craig+Lock
http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B005GGMAW4 http://www.creativekis.com/amazon.html and http://goo.gl/vTpjk
is to share.
To answer a few questions (I’m “snowed under”, so sorry, don’t have resources as a “one man band” to answer you individually)
* I don’t have time to look at other web sites or comment on design (I know nothing about that. To the few who are complaining about the occasional spelling mistake, or want more pictures, I “don’t major in minor details”.
”Man invented language in order to satisfy his need to complain.”
– Canadian linguist Steven Pinker
* All my articles may be freely reproduced (sorry don’t have time write for other websites), as I’m busy writing a few books at the moment
I put most of my focus into my books, so have no idea how to add sound, video, etc to the blog…to make it better.
* please feel free to link to the web site or my various other WordPress blogs at http://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/craigs-blogs-and-writings/ should you wish, but I have no time to do links
* You may not believe this, but I’m a “total non-techno”, so know, NOTHING about web site design, feeds, hosts, servers, etc. And lay-out is not one of my strong points. I just write and posted on the blog! How I got am where I am is a “miracle” . And no one would believe the story (only those who have true faith)! BELIEVE it (first) … then you’ll see it!
“Believing is seeing.”
(BEFORE the event)
* I don’t have a newsletter to subscribe to
* Will try to post articles from time to time, but all my writings are available at http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/user/15565 and http://www.ideamarketers.com/library/profile.cfm?writerid=981
(Personal growth, self help, writing, internet marketing, spiritual, ‘spiritual writings’ (how ‘airey-fairey’), words of inspiration. Please feel free to use

thanks for the understanding and I DO really appreciate your “writing in”
“Thanks for the thanks”
“When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.”
– as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts
“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”
– c
“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”.
