very insightful contributions to our discussion this week. You declare, the Apostle "Paul's reaffirms that the only thing we need concern ourselves with is the will of God. Memorizing these lines and repeating them daily they become the Christian mantra to become mindful in the mindfulness of Jesus." I concur with your credo.
