After moving to Colorado, I located a new eye doctor and went to appointment.
While waiting at desk before appointment, I was so surprised when the attendant said to me, "You really seem to have a good spirit."
I replied, "I do … but I have to work at it." (through prayer and taking thoughts captive)
***
Then when they called me in to begin the many exams, the person who administered the tests said to me, "You're my favorite of all my patients today."
I was really surprised.

Though I had said nothing about God or spiritual things, something came across to these two women.
I suspect they had the Spirit of God thereby recognizing that Spirit in other people.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And I have had preachers and other people fail to recognize the Spirit that is in me. I know if they had the Spirit in them, they would have recognized the Spirit that is in me.
When Jesus came to earth as a man, there were many who rejected HIM, questioning HIS authority to speak as HE did and to heal the people as HE did in both body and mind.
Nevertheless, whether approved or disapproved, Jesus kept going while left on this earth and did the works God assigned for Him to do.
Just go forward doing the work of God as long as God chooses to leave you on this present earth.
And live in peace even in the midst of turmoil.
Through prayer comes peace and connection to God.
John 16:33 Jesus says: These things I have spoken unto you, that in ME ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
