In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

Healed of anorexia

I realized that I had been hoping my body would tell me who I am or confirm something about my identity. But this hope was empty from the outset because we are made in God’s image.

Daily grind or holy day?

As my thought shifted toward God’s viewpoint, so did my experience—health, harmony, and happiness were restored.

Live in “the reliable now”

When I do serve God in the now, I find my “retirement” days are quite full. The reward for being in the present is having lots of energy to do more. 
We can heal challenges to our health and happiness through recognizing ourselves as the pure, reflection of God, Spirit, dispersing the mistaken beliefs that would obscure our true nature.

Remembering the salt

When I prayed asking what I needed to know in relation to the memory lapses, God’s answer was, “Just listen.”
There was a spiritual lesson in this: The effects we may feel from another’s wrong behavior (inadvertent or intentional) have more to do with our reaction than with the incident itself.
As soon as I reached out to God and asked for His help, the bleeding stopped.

In my work as a police chaplain, I’ve seen the healing power of welcoming in and yielding to thoughts from God.
I was completely healed of nerve pain. This condition has not recurred since that visit with my friend.

Trusting God saved my life

I was so relieved, and yet I also understood how this outcome was possible—it was because I trusted God, instead of getting swept away by fear.
