Have faith and unshaken confidence. The Divine Grace will do the rest. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p49</ref>
=How Not to Distance from the Divine Grace=
 
==Doubt Impedes Progress==
 
One is either conscious of the power or peace or other force (light, ananda, knowledge, movements of the divine working) or, if not conscious of that, is aware of the results—either of these things is sufficient to show that one is open. To feel the grace descending and yet doubt whether it is not a vital imagination is a folly of the physical mind; a spiritual experience must be accepted as it is; if one questions at every moment whether an experience is an experience or Grace is grace or peace is peace or light is light, one will spend all the time in these useless and fantastic doubts instead of making a quiet and natural progress. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-physical-mind-and-sadhana#p26</ref>

If behind your devotion and surrender you make a cover for your desires, egoistic demands and vital insistences, if you put these things in place of the true aspiration or mix them with it and try to impose them on the Divine Shakti, then it is idle to invoke the divine Grace to transform you. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mother-i#p6</ref>

I have seen too that very often a long tapasya with doubtful results prepares the moment of grace and the spontaneous downflow. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p17</ref>

For the Grace to help you, you must fulfil the conditions, and the very first condition is to reject all doubt, however slight. I repeat again: you would do well to read once more, carefully and attentively, the first two chapters of ''The Mother''. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/16-july-1936#p2</ref>
