WHEN PROSPERITY SEEMS WITHHELD
Question—I feel that I am not receiving that which I know is coming to me. I am unable to locate the cause why prosperity is withheld from me. I have tried to be faithful in prayer, to be positive and expectant and to know that the sources from which good can come to me are now open. I have tried not to be anxious or to worry. What shall I do?

ANSWER-Why not throw your entire mind open to the influx of prosperity, forgetting any particular channel, but rather seeking to gain such an atmosphere of abundance in your own thought that it refuses to accept the evidence of particular facts to the contrary. Do not limit the possibilities of the manifestation of the Infinite Source to one particular channel. Open wide every door and window of your mind. While this may seem rather difficult it is still possible and you will gradually come to see that the principle which you are using has resources at its command beyond your present expectation or realization.

COMMON SENSE
Question—Is planning to make one dollar cover necessities that cost two, thinking of lack?

ANSWER—It is not a thought of abundance. Whatever we do we wish to demonstrate ahead of us; we wish to have the way prepared before us. If I had only one dollar I w0uld spend only one dollar, but I would try to recognize the presence of that substance which is adequate supply, knowing that the Divine abundance is manifest. Troward says that God does not put money in our pocketbooks by a conjuring trick. We are the extension of It, hence intelligent plans and methods, when they present themselves to the mind, should be followed. For right action is a lengthening out of the right thought. (page 126)
