Daily Excerpts - prayers to...
September 1 PURE POSITIVITY Having a positive Focus is not only countercultural; it's contrary to human nature. Your mind is a magnificent creation but it's deeply fallen. When Adam & Eve rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden, everything was damaged by the fall. As a result, seeking to focus on excellent things doesn't come naturally to you, & why at first you only Perceive Problems. Positivity requires persistent effort— making the right choice over & over again, hardwiring it into your brain. Daily, moment by moment, choose to look for what is Good. In spite of massive problems & chaos in the World, Much remains worthy of Praise!
