The Practitioner

ROSEMARY C. COBHAM

Do not fear to go.
That which God knows of man, that you can know.
And as you pause before the open door,
Remember you are Christ's ambassador.
Speak with authority, which is a fitting thing
For one to do who serves the mighty King.
Know that your challenge to material sense
Is backed by weight of God's omnipotence;
That each true statement that you make shall find
Swift confirmation in the realm of Mind.
The Christ has never lost its healing power,
But is for all time—and for you this hour.
Blend love for man with constant loyalty,
And go with joy to set the captive free.
