The Idea of Lack

There is a prayer recited in every moment of giving in the church that I attend. This prayer says "that there is no lack or limitation in my life".We learn that, nothing is in our experience that did not begin as a thought. What are you thinking? New Thought writers often remind us that our lives begin with thought. `Whatever is created in our experience was first a thought in our minds. What we give much attention to - expands. So if you are always thinking about "lack" you are creating it and expanding it. You can't have anything but lack. I hear some of my friends say that they only think of great and wonderful things, but they don't count how often they discuss how bad everything is. Bad economy, bad education, bad relationships, some "bad" comments outpace good ones 10 to 1. You might know what a good mate would look like, but how often have you commented on bad ones?

Pay attention this week to the lack you are creating. You want better, imagine better, point out what you are grateful for this week and imagine more of that to come.,

There is no lack or limitation in our lives. We need to continue creating the good, stop all complaining of the bad and be grateful for what is presently good.

Shalom
