"Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present" is Mrs. Eddy's spiritual interpretation of the line "Thy kingdom come" from the Lord's Prayer (see Science and Health, pp. 16-17).

Understanding that one phrase taken from the prayer Christ Jesus gave his disciples (see Matt. 6:9-13) has many times stopped error (illness, discord) in its tracks and brought healing to my life. A deeper understanding of these words has compounded my joys, too.

I had occasion to hold to the truth of God's ever-presence recently. I woke in the night feeling very thirsty and decided to get a glass of water. But in my sleep I had become entangled in the sheets so that when I jumped out of bed, I fell to the floor, landing hard on the extended sharp corner of my bedside table.
