"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on...

EVELYN MAY CHOWN

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isa. 26:3). These words were brought home very clearly to me while I was reading an article in an issue of the Sentinel, and they have been proved in my life many times.

After my husband passed on, I procured a greatly needed job with a firm I had worked for before my marriage. I was also advised to apply for a widow's pension, as I had my mother to care for. This I did, but my pension request was turned down because of a technicality. At first I was resentful and thought this unfair, since others in my position had received a pension. But on reflection I decided to put the whole business behind me. This was not easy to do. Wishing to see where my thinking was wrong, I gave the situation much deep prayer. Then I realized that even though my husband was no longer with me, God had always completely supported me, and He would continue to support me.

Many weeks passed. One evening when I arrived home from the Wednesday testimony meeting in my branch church, I was given a message to ring up a certain number. I did and someone my husband had known offered me an opportunity to take over the running of a little drapery shop. I said that I had never had that kind of experience, but the person was confident I could do it. After considerable prayer and study of Christian Science, I decided to accept the position. It necessitated giving up my job and moving to live over the shop away from all my friends, but I felt convinced that this was the right thing to do.
