All conditions and experiences that come to you do so for your benefit. Difficulties and obstacles will continue to come until you absorb their wisdom and gather from them the essentials of further growth. That you reap what you sow is mathematically exact. You gain permanent strength exactly to the extent of the effort required to overcome difficulties.
This is the danger from what is called; Will Power. Those of you who seem to think that by force of will they can coerce this law, that they can sow seed of one kind and by "Will Power" make it bear fruit of another, but the fundamental principle of creative power is universal, and therefore the idea of forcing a compliance without wishes by the power of the individual will is an inverted conception, which may appear to succeed for a while but is eventually doomed to failure, because it antagonizes the very power which it is seeking to use.
GodScope Psychology tells :
Thought is a creative vibration and the quality of the conditions created will depend upon the quality of your thought, because you cannot express energies, forces and powers which you do not possess. You must "Be" before you can "Do" and you can "Do" only to the extent to which you "Have" and what you "Have" depends upon what you "Think".
Everytime you think, you start a train of causation which will create a condition in strict accordance with the quality of the thought which originated it. Thought which is in harmony with the Universal Mind will result in corresponding conditions. Thought which is destructive or discordant will produce corresponding results. You may use thought constructively or destructively, but the immutable law will not allow you to plant a thought of one kind and reap the fruit of another. You are free to use this marvellous creative energy, force and power as you will, but you must take the consequences.
GodScope Psychology shows :
If the state of your health is not all that could be desired, then examine your method of thinking; now remember that every thought produces an impression on Your Mind; every impression is a seed which will sink into the subconscious and form a tendency; the tendency will be to attract other similar thoughts and before you know it you shall have a crop which must be the harvest. If these thoughts contain disease germs, the harvest will be sickness, decay, weakness and failure; your big question is, what are you thinking, what are you mentally creating, and what will my harvest be?
If there is any physical condition which it is necessary to change, the law governing visualization will be found effective. Make a mental image of physical perfection, hold it in the mind until it is absorbed by the consciousness. Many have eliminated chronic ailments in a few weeks by this method, and thousands have overcome and destroyed all manner of ordinary physical disturbances by this method in a few days, sometimes in a few hours.
Does faith healing work ?

God is already infinitely good, and infinitely caring and merciful. He does not sit around heaven waiting to be asked to heal people in order to start doing it. He already gives everyone as much help within their own personal interest.
The relief of sickness and poverty on earth is our responsibility, to be taken care of with the knowledge of medicine and the hard work that we are capable of giving.
It is true that many illnesses are psychosomatically induced, and can be helped by The Power of Positive Thinking.
If we truly believe that we are being healed, our body can heal and cure itself. The mind and the body interact in ways that as yet, doctors are not fully aware of. The placebo effect is well known. A person with a raging headache will take a pill that they think is a regular codeine pain pill, but which is in reality only a sugar pill, and the headache disappears just as if it were real medicine.
As soon as you have theory of mind, you have the possibility of deceiving others, or being deceived. This, in turn, generates a sense of fairness and unfairness, which could lead to moral codes and the possibility of an unseen "enforcer" - God – who can see and punish all wrong-doers. Once you have these additions of the imagination, maybe theories of God are inevitable.
