Chapter 7: Spiritual Desolation: A Time for Resistance (Rule 7)

St. Joan by George Bernard Shaw
envisage-contemplate or conceive of as a possibility or a desirable future event.

1.  Examine a past trial from God's perspective.  Looking back, what was the divine purpose in allowing it?  What did you learn or how did you grow?

2.  Consider how your natural powers: the ability to think, to choose, to call certain truths to mind and to envisage spiritual realities can assist in overcoming desolation.

3.  What trials are you able to resist more quickly and surely now than in the past?

4.  Take time this week to remember God's fidelity as He worked in your life, perhaps journaling or creating a spiritual time line of key moments in your spiritual journey.  Look back on it when you forget.
