Edgar Cayce Inspirational Quote

Inspirational quote from Edgar Cayce

Every once in a while I find my mind locked into some worry, some recrimination of myself, some criticism of someone else, and I try to get my mind to go elsewhere, but often fail. This fantastic prayer has been a wonderful help in moving my mind to become hopeful:

“When fear of the future occurs, or fear of the past, or fear of what others will say–put all such away with this prayer–not merely by mouth, not merely by thought, but in body, in mind and in soul say, ‘Here am I, Lord–Thine! Keep me in the way Thou would have me go, rather than in that I might choose.'”
