“God is the essence of good and therefore wants good for all of Its creation.

“. . . God, the Creator of all, does have a plan for every part of creation.  We cannot know specifically what that plan might be.  There is really no reason for us to know.  What we can be sure of, however, is that there is a divine order to things.  By not attempting to predict outcomes, by not fretting about the means of our getting there, we smooth the way for God’s plan to reveal itself easily and quickly.  Our part is to keep centered on God as the Source of all good, and then to trust, simply trust.

“. . . The solution to a problem is never to be found on the level of the problem.  The only way out is up.  Up in consciousness [mindset], in thought and feeling, to the level where Spirit dwells, to the level of divine order.  We touch that center of God in us, and having contacted it, we feel the assurance that all is well.

“. . . Trust God.  There is always a divinely perfect solution underlying every challenging situation.”
