Repeat quietly but with feeling, “I AM . . I AM”, until you have lost all consciousness of the world and know yourself just as being. Awareness, the knowing that you are, is Almighty God; I AM.

Do you say to the ideal or desire murmuring in your heart that I AM too old; I do not have enough money; I do not know the right people? Do you say, for example, that due to conditions, inflation, the present administration, events, or circumstances, it is impossible for me to realize my objective? If this is so, you are not disciplining Peter, but you are actually robbing yourself of the joy of experiencing your ideal. The faculty of faith . . Peter . . knows no obstacles, and recognizes no master or Lord, except his own I AMness. Do you pray for a little while; then give up, and say, "I tried it, but it does not work." If you do, you must begin now to call Peter to discipleship, and you will realize the cherished desire of your heart.
