Try
to see things more and more from My perspective. Let the Light of My
Presence so fully fill your mind that you view the world through Me. When
little things don’t go as you had hoped, look to Me lightheartedly and say,
“Oh, well.” This simple discipline can protect you from being burdened with an
accumulation of petty cares and frustrations.
If you practice this diligently, you will make a life-changing discovery: You realize that most of the things that worry you are not important. If you shrug them off immediately and return your focus to Me, you will walk through your days with lighter steps and a joyful heart. When serious problems come your way, you will have more reserves for dealing with them.
You will not have squandered your energy on petty problems. You may even reach the point where you can agree with the apostle Paul that all your troubles are light and momentary, compared with the eternal glory being achieved by them.
A man’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?
Proverbs 20:24
For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
