What to do when your Spirit is troubled?

When you lay the body aside, the experience of your earth life will represent such a tiny portion of time that you will marvel that so much could be accomplished—how you could have grieved over anything so passing—so transitory—in its course.

Regard the mind as a tool, which may be of unparalleled use—or as a weapon, which can be used directly by the forces of evil. 

You know how to obtain protection—you know that the laws of the Spirit are so straight—so clear—so entirely on the lines of Love—that by dedicating yourself to the Father, so you defeat that which would hinder you on the path.

I have complete protection.

Love walks with you—the Saviour is never too busy—never too occupied—with the tragedies and disasters to look after his own during the daily round—this applies to you —you cannot understand it because it is one of those secrets of divinity, but Christ is literally—actually—the Companion of all—linked to the spirit within, which is of him, and though the way may be long—or short—though the hill may be steep—or gradual, Christ is never absent from any experience, which you are going through.

The things of the world in themselves are not wrong, but on every side, you see the wrong to the individual that these possessions have the power to inflict.

Remember the place God holds in your life—remember that He is the 'Third' in every partnership of gladness—or of sorrow—that in forgiving others and covering up the wounds, you are contributing to His joy—you are saving the Heart of Love one pang less.

I will learn—I will get on—I will gather unto myself—these are the three steps down—down—in the sense that they must be climbed again to come back to that 'knowledge,' which is simple understanding of the gospel of Christ.
