Unshattered safety

One morning I felt impelled to pray about safety for myself and for all mankind. And carrying my prayer further, I was led to try to understand as deeply and honestly as possible the link between safety and consecration to God.  

All day long I worked in prayer to dedicate myself to be committed to God wholeheartedly. When I came home after work in the late afternoon, I felt impelled to go directly to Mary Baker Eddy’s Prose Works other than Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and continue with my quest for consecration to the one Mind, God. I didn’t even take the time to make tea, as I often like to do upon coming home.  

A few minutes after I’d started my study, a shooting started outside our condominium, which is located in a normally peaceful neighborhood. I rushed to look out my window. I saw a car speed away and realized that two people had been shot and killed right by where my car was parked.
