Protection from Guerrillas

OLGA M. CHAFFEE

On various occasions, after learning of alarming events in the country where my relatives lived—events such as kidnappings, assassinations, and lack of prime necessities—I found my thoughts filled with fear. Also, I felt impatient toward those who should be restoring order and were unable to, and hatred for the terrorists who were causing so much suffering.

As a student of Christian Science I knew that these very negative thoughts were in no way going to help those I longed to help, and needed to be corrected.

Upon hearing of the frightening situation my family found themselves in, faced with hostility from guerrillas and their supporters, I decided to turn to God in search of help, instead of surrendering to fear and hate. The Bible and Mary Baker Eddy's writings became my source of tranquillity, strength, and love for everyone in the turbulent country.
