Answer: Here is what you do. You must replace your present erroneous way of thinking with your new way of thinking, with your new way of believing. In other words, you must develop the consciousness of Truth because when you know the Truth, then the Truth shall set you free from the problems you have been dealing with. You will then be free to live in the goodness, the harmony, of God's being.
Your human ego-self way of thinking is functioning from the erroneous premise that God is not omnipotent, that God is not omnipresent, that God is not omniscient. And so it is that you are a prisoner of your own false beliefs and you have thereby separated yourself from the love, from the wisdom, from the power, from the goodness, from the grace, from the Life, from the allness of God. As you develop the consciousness of God, spiritual consciousness, you will be "leaving your nets" meaning your ego-self way of believing and entering into the oneness of God.
And the only way to do this is by practicing the Presence of God by the constant activity of Truth through contemplation, meditation, and prayer. This means that you consciously keep your mind stayed on God, that you remind yourself throughout the day that God is the only being, the only presence, the only power, the only Life, the only source of happiness for you. It means obeying the word of God by knowing that the Presence perfects that which concerns you, that hopelessness cannot enter into your spiritual consciousness, that you are kept in perfect peace if you keep your mind on God, that in thy Presence is fullness of joy.
As you practice the Presence of God, you will discover the oneness of God and that because of that oneness, now there is the Presence of God and the absence of your ego-self. Now your world is new because "all that I have is thine", because "I have come to give you Life and Life more abundantly". Now there is hopefulness. Now you no longer ask the question "what do I do" because
