Through the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings we learn to know God, who is All. There is no limit to God's goodness, power, and love. Mrs. Eddy states in Science and Health (p. 465), "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love." As we have used our growing understanding of these synonyms in our daily lives and prayed to acknowledge our oneness with God as His reflection, we have found release from limitations of fear, lack, sickness, and unhappiness.
This truth has been very helpful to me in many ways. Since my husband retired, we have been traveling quite a bit. On one of our trips home I became very ill with severe pain. A Christian Science practitioner was called for treatment. I tried to stand firm and prayed to know that I was not a mortal but a spiritual, perfect child of God, His image and likeness, and therefore had only the substance of good, the substance of Spirit.
The illness continued for several days. During this time I received a letter from a friend who asked me to help her through prayer, as she was in great need. My first thought was how can I help her when I cannot seem to see my own way clear?
