"And you will be the victor"
One of the many stirring statements of Christ Jesus about the certain receiving that follows correct asking, appears in the eleventh chapter of Mark. After telling his followers that prayer could move a mountain into the sea, and indicating that trust is the key to such a result, he concludes with this sweeping assurance: "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
Christians in general have accepted this statement of the Master's, but its practical value has been limited for vast numbers of them by their apparent inability to achieve the confidence to which it refers. Christian Science has come joyfully to multitudes of Christians, and many others not previously followers of Jesus, because it not only fully confirms the statement but shows that the assurance which it calls for is possible for all, and because it clearly points the way by which, through earnest endeavor, all may attain the full mastery and use of prayer.
It is obvious that to have full faith in the results of one's asking, one must ask for what is in accord with the nature of God, or in other words with reality; but nothing is plainer in Christian Science than that this fact in no way limits the opportunities of prayer. Christian Science shows that all that is truly desirable is included in the divine and only reality. What belongs to God, and therefore to man as His expression, is what infinite Love and intelligence supplies; and this includes far more of good, and a far better quality of good, than mere human mentality can conceive of.
