In meeting everyday circumstances, we are always searching for right answers. At some time, almost every one of us thinks: What shall I do about this? What is the right answer?

If we can train our minds to be open and receptive to the light of God that is within each of us, we will receive direct and inspiring ideas. We will know what to do and how to do it.

The light of God within has been with you always, and it can help you learn to think clearly, understand the situations before you, and take whatever action is appropriate. Never let your mind get into a rut or into a groove. Know that your mind is open, receptive and flexible. You can courageously meet any circumstance or condition with an open mind and heart.

I remember when I had to learn some new things in preparation for an examination. I used the idea that the light of God was with me through every experience, no matter how difficult. As I used this idea, I was able to think clearly, comprehend the subject, and remember what I had to learn. Needless to say, I passed the examination.

The light of God within helps you stay alert so that you can understand new or unexpected things quickly. Keep your mind always aware; never let it become sluggish.

As you turn to the light of God within you, you will be freed from anxiety about the outcome of any situation. Whatever you have to do, you will understand what is required of you, and you will be able to follow through with ease and with perfect timing.

The light of God within you is always shining. Train yourself to rely on this great source of inspiration within you. It is always present to show you the way.

Let your mind be open and free and joyous as you remember your unity with the great source of knowledge within you.

Times change, circumstances and conditions change, and you change. You can constantly expand and grow and unfold if you will keep yourself receptive to new and inspiring ideas.

You may have heard others say, “Well, my mind is made up, and I won't change it.” They become set, rigid and critical. Those who are not willing to change and grow seem to have a hard time.

The world is full of people, young and old, who are finding new ways to enjoy the good things in life by relying on their inner resources to guide them. Whether they realize it or not, they are relying on the light of God within them because God has filled them “with ability, intelligence, and knowledge in every kind of craft” (Exodus 31:3).

Think of yourself as filled with the light of God, and remember that you have it within you. This gives you a direct approach to right answers, no matter what the need or situation.
