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
