"We live in a world that feeds our egos with fear," writes Engle. She, like many of us, feels drained and depressed by all this negative news. Following the methodology of A Course in Miracles, she notes the job description for our life does not include the word "worry." And she counsels us to see that all our thoughts can be changed.
Engle suggests we pay attention to all the fear-based messages we hear. All the time we spend on toxins, we could be savoring the positive experiences and messages of life. The simple prayer she suggests is: "Please heal all my fear-based thoughts."
What are the benefits of this prayer? Engle notes that peace of mind will become your only goal; that you will see more beauty in the world; you'll open up to the Divine; you'll experience great simplicity and serendipity; you'll set yourself free by relinquishing control; and you'll feel grateful and more joyful.
