SOLVING PROBLEMS

Mary H. Oliver

To solve a problem through the Science of Mind,
We must know this—that every rule must be
Obeyed; and every rule must be employed
With perfect accuracy and with the love
Of Truth established in our hearts; correct
Solution can be found no other way.
We must subtract from thought beliefs (long held
No doubt) which brought us grief and pain. We must
Replace them with God's infinite ideas.

Oh, let us open wide our hearts to hear
The angel messages which Love imparts!
God's angels are close by, waiting to be
Received, waiting to occupy our thoughts.

Then, when we multiply in thought the good
Which we are gaining, when we understand
That man is blessed with every Christian grace,
We shall acquire more love for all mankind
And know the meaning of true joy and peace.
Thus following these rules, we can obey
The law of God; and so we demonstrate
Our real identity and find our health
Restored, our hearts at rest, our problems solved.

Mary H. Oliver
