When I returned home after the Second World War, during which time I had experienced divine Love's protection and guidance, I prayed to be led to a position from which I could serve mankind in an effective and practical way. I had been an art director in an advertising agency before the war, but I did not want to go back to the same type of work, although it had provided a good income for my family.

While praying about the situation, I turned to this statement in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy: "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds."

Before long I felt prompted to register with a professional art organization. A number of positions were soon offered. However, I held out for the ideal that I envisioned in my desire, and I continued to trust in divine Love.
