If you trust Him, God shows you the way. If you are humble enough to know that you can do little by yourself, if you have enough faith to ask God to give you the strength you need, and if you are grateful enough for His grace, you can ‘move mountains.’
I pray that I may learn to depend more on WaheGuru.
The control of the palate is a valuable aid for the control of the mind. – Mahatma Gandhi
What is the purpose of food? It is meant to nourish the body. One can change so that food that was once unappealing will start to taste better than rich, unhealthy food that was earlier one’s favorite. Food and the taste buds are a good place to start practising self-control. You don’t have to fast or adopt strange diets, just move away from unhealthy foods and choose foods that are.
O Lord, I do not pray for tasks equal to my strength:
I ask for strength equal to my tasks.
Philips Brooks
I weave a silence on my lips
I weave a silence into my mind
I weave a silence within my heart
I close my ears to distractions
I close my eyes to attractions
I close my heart to temptations.
Modern Prayer by David Adam
Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other. – M.C. Richards
We usually talk about the benefits of prayer and meditation and keeping good company. We may have the noblest of intentions, but just thinking about doing something is not enough. We must simply, actively take steps towards our goal — do what we are supposed to do, and do it at once. Just do it. There will always be challenges, so we pray for courage to remain faithful when pains and fears seem overwhelming.
A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. – Henry David Thoreau, from Walden
Doubt and spiritual confusion mark our age. Many of us have cast aside old ideas without acquiring new ones. Many of us creep through life because we do not believe there is a power greater than ourselves. We may feel we are being brave and independent, when all we are really doing is choosing a lifestyle full of anxiety.
I pray that I may not get caught in doubt but live in faith.
We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin. - Andre Berthiaume
God is near me (or rather in me), and yet I may be far from God because I may be far from my own true self. – C.E. Rolt
Our relationship with WaheGuru and our relationship with ourselves are interwoven. Sometimes we feel disconnected from ourselves or emotionally flat. It’s when we are not communicating with our inner, deeper selves. It’s very important to be honest with ourselves, open and true.
