No problem

BERYL O. NATHANS

If we ask a friend whether he can manage to do something, he may reply cheerfully, "No problem." The phrase suggests a good way to begin a Christian Science treatment.

"The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love,"^{Science and Health, p. 1.} Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health. No problem exists in omnipotent, omniscient Mind. Human beings, however, often seem to be confronted by difficulties. The way to meet and master these difficulties is through the understanding of the presence of divine Mind. The Christ, Truth, speaking to individual consciousness, brings the spiritual awareness that allays fear and gives the victory over challenges. Then they are problems no longer.

If faced with problems, we may be tempted to feel fear or burden. But Christian Science helps us recognize them as opportunities. These occasions enable us—sometimes force us—to seek and find solutions. Rising above difficulties, we are untroubled by them. We gain the joy of dominion.
