QUARANTINE YOUR TROUBLES

  

QUARANTINE YOUR TROUBLES

 

Around the Year with Emmet Fox

 

February 21

 

When you are praying or "treating"

about a particular thing,

you should handle it, mentally,

very carefully indeed.

The ideal way is not to think about it at all

except when you are actually praying about it.

Moreover, to talk to other people about it

is exceedingly likely to invite failure.

When a new problem presents itself to you,

decline to consider it except in the light of Truth.

I call this "putting a subject, in quarantine."

Even an old long-standing problem

can be "put in quarantine" today,

if you mean business and will resolutely break

the habit of constantly thinking over that problem.

Whenever you think about any subject,

you are treating it with your thought—

either for good or evil.

 

“The lip of truth

shall be established forever. . .”

Proverbs 12:19
