From Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend, 1921.
But you ask, "How can I speak the word of Faith when I have little or no faith?"
Every living thing has faith in something or somebody. Faith is that quality of Power which gives the Creative Energy a corresponding vitality, and the vitality in the word of Faith you use causes it to take corresponding physical form. Even intense fear is alive with faith. You fear smallpox because you believe it possible for you to contract it. You fear poverty and loneliness because you believe them possible for you. It is the Faith which understands that every creation had its birth in the womb of thought-words, that gives you dominion over all things, your lesser self included, and this feeling of faith is increased and intensified through observing what it does.
Your constant observation should be of your state of consciousness when you did; not when you hoped you might, but feared it was too good to be true. How did you feel that time when you simply bad to bring yourself into * better frame of mind and did, or you had to have a certain thing and got it? Live these experiences over again and again--mentally --until you really feel in touch with the self which knows and does, and then the best there is, is yours.
