Anxiety and the unquiet mind are the enemy of progress and achievement. It is necessary to discipline and train the mind to cope with unexpected contingencies, especially with advancing age.

Sometimes it is helpful and expedient to forbid the brain to travel along certain levels when nothing constructive can be gained and when it is a source of worry. Nothing is gained by exercising the mind on areas of anxiety unless there is constructive engagement issuing in practical action.

This is especially so concerning the help one would give to others . To love and care deeply is good and the will of your heavenly Father ,as well as strength to those who value your concern. But unnecessary dwelling on a contrary situation or set of anxious-making contingencies helps neither the person concerned nor your own well-being.

Act as you are guided by our love and leading. Hold the person in the loving embrace of your heart and mind. And proceed in hope , and in thankfulness that you are contained by the Father's loving purpose and guided by the light of our Holy Spirit.

Feed upon the sustenance which is available for your soul's well being and drink often of the waters of silence.
