GOD'S WILL IS THE LAW OF LIFE

Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" says that the Lord's Prayer meets every human need and that if the spiritual consciousness therein indicated is attained, it will instantaneously heal the sick.

At one time someone very dear to a student of Christian Science was critically ill for a long period. As the student earnestly pondered the words, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," and their spiritual interpretation, as given by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health (p. 17),"Enable us to know,—as in heaven, so on earth,—God is omnipotent, supreme," she had a clear realization that no such thing as a fatal illness, or an illness of any kind, could enter God's kingdom, which is everywhere present, or touch the man of His creating, the only man there is. God is Love, and His will for His beloved children is always good. He is omnipotent and supreme, and His will is law. His law is the law of Life, not of death: of health, not of sickness; of harmony, not of inharmony. Sin, disease, and death, being outside His law, must be illusions of the so-called material senses. Having no law to support them, they have in reality no form or substance, but exist only as misconceptions of the supposititious belief of life and intelligence in matter. God's man being spiritual and the expression of all-powerful, ever-present Life, man must be free and well, manifesting Life's activity and perfection always. Through calm and steadfast standing with these truths the student was able to dispel her fear, and the life of the loved one was saved.
