The certainty that eliminates uncertainty
Jenny Sawyer
We, being wholly spiritual, flow out from divine Principle, the source of perfect harmony, purpose, supply, direction, and anything else we could ever need. No upheaval or uncertainty can change that.

God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

How can I stop being so critical?
Deborah Huebsch
This author was a pro at criticizing … until she realized it wasn’t actually making her feel all that great. Prayer gave her new insights about God and herself that helped her get to the root of the criticisms—and to stop them.

Tending our own thought—not our neighbor’s
Patti Faulkner
When we relinquish the human concept of our neighbor as ignorant, unreceptive, or uncaring, and of ourselves as some sort of savior, we go from willfully trying to correct some “uninformed” human being to allowing ourselves to be a transparency for the truth that divine Mind knows and is communicating.

Able to pay for college
David Watson
Although I did not know where the money would come from, I trusted that just as God, Love, had directed our daughter in her college choice, Love would provide the complete provision for her attendance.

Power we can trust
Ethel A. Baker
Each of us today can discern the correct concept of power—the divine Love that overrules anything else—and as we do, that which claims to be an opposite, destructive force begins to lose its credibility, and its hold on us.

You can help heal political turmoil
Michael Streeter
The key to healing political strife is not to pray for the defeat or victory of any particular party but to adopt Jesus’ steadfast conviction that God is the one and only power.

What is not going to change
Jan Keeler Vincent
We were struggling to get our bearings after my then-fiancé was laid off when a friend warmly encouraged us, “Instead of worrying about what’s going to change, think instead about what’s not going to change.”

Addressing fear leads to healing
María Antonia Caporizzo
I realized that what was happening to me seemed to be the result of fear. So I left the turbulent sea of this fear. It was never the truth of my being

Christian Science is here to stay
Evan Mehlenbacher
Christian Science boldly states to the world that our true lives are found in Spirit. Those who cling to the popular belief that life resides in matter—that we are merely or largely flesh and blood—may doubt, even oppose, Christian Science. But that does not change its truthfulness or threaten its existence.
Article
Yielding to the truth that each of us is Love’s creation has increasingly enabled me—despite anyone’s devaluating actions and my reactions to them—to perceive God’s love for them and me, to acknowledge what that means God knows us to be, and to recognize that I can love.
Turning Points in Spiritual Growth
From “me, me, me” to thinking about others
Marshall Reddick
I made up my mind that I would stop thinking so much about myself and start considering how I could help others. As I began to put this into practice, remarkable things started to happen.

Back injury healed
Robert Schult
I give full credit to God for this healing. I am grateful for the growing understanding of my unbroken relationship to Him that I gain from my continuing study of the Holy Bible and Science and Health.

No more fear of public speaking
Shamiso Mazungaire
God was expressing good qualities through my son as the speaker, and He would also be expressing good through the audience, causing each one to love what God was doing and respond appropriately.

Seeing as God sees
Norma Presmeg
Seeing as God, Spirit, sees involves recognizing that the perfection of spiritual being is the only reality of existence and that anything discordant is the darkness, which must disappear in the light of God’s infinite goodness, here and now.

“Where two or three are gathered together in my name”
Thomas Mitchinson
It doesn’t matter how many are gathered together—whether “two or three” or many more. We all can experience the healing power of God as we pray for and with one another.

Waiting for your “Aha!” moment?
Mark Swinney
As long as we’re looking exclusively to divine Spirit, it doesn’t matter if God’s healing insights come as a series of subtle, quiet epiphanies or in a single, momentous blast.

Prayer heals chronic sinus trouble
Fred Oakes
I prayed to understand that sickness is not part of my true, spiritual identity as God’s offspring. In three days, the blockage was expelled, and my breathing became normal.
