When outer conditions appear to be impossible, never give up. Never waver or let go. Go deep within. Become very still. Feel God’s limitless love surround and infill you. Feel God’s peace. Let God’s light illumine you from within, so that the without can be seen in a new light. Raise your consciousness up and up. Leave all that is negative behind, banish all sense of defeat. Simply know that in that raised state there is no such thing as defeat. Victory is assured. You can overcome all things and hold on in faith until you see everything working out in true perfection. - Eileen Caddy

Begin by finding a quiet spot and sitting comfortably, closing your eyes and allowing your body to relax . . . . . notice that there are sounds around you . . . . . just let them be there . . . . . move your attention to the sensations in your body . . . . . notice the feelings of pressure, temperature, discomfort, etc . . . . . if you need to adjust your posture to be comfortable, then do so . . . . . move your attention to your thoughts as they pass through your mind. . . . . past thoughts, future thoughts, fantasies and facts . . . . . just notice without judgment what your mind is thinking . . . . . now gently turn your attention to your breathing . . . . . notice that you are breathing in and breathing out, fresh air filling your being . . . . . bringing with it the quality of peace . . . . . allow your body and mind to relax . . . . .

Now imagine that each breath you take is filled with a light infused with love, the light of a universal oneness. See that light filling your whole body until you feel totally filled with this limitless love, illuminated from within. Spend some time resting in this feeling.

Now, before you come back to normal consciousness, reaffirm to yourself that everything is working out in true perfection. Allow your mind and body to sense what it feels like for this to be a reality, this deep sense of trust.

Bring yourself back into the present moment. As you go through your day, occasionally cultivate again that feeling of everything working out to perfection, rekindle your sense of trust.
