How do we find strength in God?

Visualise this, and keep the image in your mind—

Each effort put forth, each thought of holiness, each prayer for strength, adds beauty to the blossoms and strength and life and capacity for further growth to those roots, which are in the spirit—those roots from which the nourishment of mind and body must be obtained, that as you grow, so must the roots grow, and as you fight and overcome, you will see within your own mind—within your own heart, that because the roots are strong and healthy, so the flowers are fair indeed.
