PROBLEM-SOVING AFFIRMATIONS
Think on the Answer, Not on the Problem!
By Dr. Frederick Eikerenkoetter
January 2008
The reason we have problems is because we've meditated too much on the problem rather than the answer. Now as long as you give your attention to your problem, you're going to have your problem.
Get In An Answer State of Mind!
You’ve got to learn how to be spiritually indifferent toward a problem and get in an answer state of mind. If you are interested in the answer, say this affirmation out loud now:
I am interested in the answer, and
I now practice spiritual indifference toward the problem.
And I accept the answer.
And that’s what you’ll have to do.
What is Spiritual Indifference?
Give up thinking about the problem, and give all your attention to the idea of the answer.
You—the conscious mind, the intellect—may not know exactly in what form that answer may come. But just entertain the idea of the answer.
The problem is like an old dog that doesn’t get attention and will go off and not return. Just like an old dog hanging around the back porch so that you’d throw him a bone occasionally. If you don’t throw old Rover a bone regularly, he’ll go somewhere else where somebody else will throw him a bone.
Are You Holding on Tight to Your Problem?
So it is your problem. And some of you, you not only throw your problems bones, but you also throw them steaks and filet mignon. You give your problem all of your attention.
And it’s no use praying and asking God to take it away because some of you still hold on tight even when you ask God!
You still have your problem, and it won’t go because you’re holding on to it.
And you see, that’s the Law of Mind. Whatever you pay attention to or are fascinated by — that’s what you get! That’s what some call the Law of Attraction!
Your prayers have to be in harmony with the Law of Mind. You see, some religious people don’t understand that, and they haven’t been taught about the Law of Mind.
Attention is Destiny
Know this, the cosmic Law of Mind cannot be changed. “As a man thinks, so is he.” If a man thinks of problems, a man is going to have problems.
I don’t care how you pray. If you stay in a problem state, you’re going to have problems, and the only way that you’re going to get an answer is to get in an answer state of mind.
So let’s do that now. If you have a life situation that you want solved, open your mind to the answer.
Open your hands, open your arms, and say out loud and with feeling:
“I open my heart and mind to the answer now.”
And just begin to think about the answer. Visualize the answer happening. Imagine that your problem is already solved. Picture it in your mind and feel relief and joy that your problem is already solved.
Stop Thinking and Talking About Your Problems
Open your heart, open your mind, open your ears, and open your eyes to the answer. And if you still have a problem, you know you have some more opening of the ears and eyes to do.
Open your mind to the answer now and identify with the answer, not the problem. Whatever answer you need will happen.
We have problems because we’ve meditated so much on the problem rather than the answer.
Now affirm the following out loud and with feeling:
I am interested in the answer.
I now practice spiritual indifference toward the problem.
I open my heart and mind to the perfect answer.
There are perfect answers for everyone and everything in my life.
I see the answer.
I feel the answer.
And I accept the answer.
Thank you, Father.
I rejoice because of it.
All right. Now that’s the end of problems. Don’t talk anymore about your problems. Think on the answer!
Love, Peace, and Prosperity,
