How do I meditate when my mind will not stop thinking?

Divert the mind to God, don't force it still

Meditation techniques fall into two kinds: one tries to still the mind, and the other says stilling it is unnatural because the mind constantly generates thoughts. Since stopping the mind from thinking is very difficult, engage the mind in God instead.

You do a very simple thing: you divert the mind to God. It is like driving a bicycle: if you press the brakes you will fall to the left or the right.
