At the end of the day tally how well you did. We are a product of thought. All thoughts, our own, other people's, and the collective world thought, affect us. Thoughts are things. Christ said to pray unceasingly.
All thoughts are prayers.
All thoughts call for a response from the universe. Such is the power of our God-created mind. Consequently, we must recognize what it is we are praying for. When we focus our thinking on what we would avoid, or what is destructive, or fearful, or dreadful, or painful, to ourselves or another, we are actively praying for the unwanted to occur. One day per month commit to observing one's thinking.
