First, I want to say upfront that I am Buddhist. I was raised in a strict Catholic family. I am in my late 50's. I am not a theologian.

When you have trouble sleeping at night because of the stress that you have from all your efforts please remember that these are the times when you need to have faith.

The manifestation of intentions seems to me to be the outcome of living your life in faith. What is faith? It is not a formula. It is a state of awareness in which you know that everything will turn out for the best. Why do you know that? Because you have trust in your true nature.

When you can develop and practice this trust then you won't lay awake at night worrrying about bs.

I don't mean to offend anyone. Sorry if I did.
