A firm foundation—rooted in divine Love

The tree that grows strong and sturdy, able to withstand harsh conditions and extremes of weather, must first establish roots. The root system forms the foundation on which the tree lives.

Individuals, too, need to build foundations for growth and progress—foundations that cannot be eroded, roots that cannot be easily pulled up. How is this done? In part, through prayer, Bible study, and demonstration.

When one prays, the act itself is an acknowledgment of the existence of a higher power. In prayer we assent to the glorious fact that the source of our true being is the Supreme Being. Prayer ultimately brings us to a recognition that life itself depends solely on God, divine Love. As we pray, we begin to understand scientifically that Spirit is the creator and that creation is therefore spiritual; that God is Mind and there is only one Mind; that divine Life is omnipotent and indestructible.
