He practices trusting truth from an infinite and caring God rather than trusting in finite, lying fears.

I get a thought.

The thought produces feelings.

I react to the feelings.

The thought was a lie.

Reflection:

Thoughts produce feelings. If I want to have positive feelings, I must direct my thoughts to truth, light, life, good, love–God. When I get false thoughts, I must give them to God in surrender: “God, I can’t handle this thought; I give it to you.” I don’t trust fear thoughts. I don’t trust selfish thoughts. I don’t trust angry thoughts. They don’t work for me. Focusing on God’s will is what works for me. God’s will is always love. Fear is the antithesis of love. All action is either motivated by fear or by love. What will my choice be today? What thoughts will I entertain? What will I dwell on today? Will I tell myself I can handle thoughts of fear, anger, and selfishness? Or will I give them to God and ask him what he wants me to be, and then get into action doing it?
