Facing each day without fear

Whatever today may bring, prayer can make it better.

Barbara R. Banks

Are there any of us who, at some time or other, haven't wakened in the morning wondering how we're going to get through the day, wishing we didn't have to face it?

Fear, of course, is the archenemy. I have found that what helps to allay my fears is to turn thought to the truths of God and man, which I am learning in my study of Christian Science. An essential truth, according to the Bible, is that God, Spirit, is the loving creator who has made all and made it good. A corollary truth is that man, made in the likeness of Spirit, is God's spiritual creation, possessing all the good that God gives.

Christ Jesus explained to an incredulous world, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." By learning what Jesus knew about the spiritual essence of our being, we can gain sure and increasing freedom. First one fear goes, then another and another, as we understand better God's love for us and begin to prove in daily life the power and protecting care of infinite Spirit.
