"People understand this to mean that if they will put God first, then they will get a nice house, a nice car, plenty of money and so on.  The problem with this kind of thinking is that they still are equating certain outer things with the consciousness of being happy.  The law instead promises that if we put God first then we will draw to ourselves whatever uniquely matches our individual conditions so as to awaken a sense from within of fulfillment."

"For a week let go of anxieties about how you will obtain what you think you need from the material world in order to be happy.  Make a special effort to put God first and be open to receive what He knows you most need.  Affirm that you will trust God to bring you that you have need of.
