Mental emancipation through the power of God

Christian Science shows us how to break free of mental and physical bonds of every sort.

Orlando Trentini

Sometimes in our efforts to move forward we may feel that we are hampered in some way by unseen elements, even that some invisible mental power is hindering our progress. Human upbringing, cultural tradition, or superstition may have instilled certain fears that get in the way of our progressive steps.

Turning to the Bible for inspiration and strength has helped many to overcome such thoughts of fear that often seem to jump into action when we are ready to undertake a new venture, a new job, or greater responsibilities.

The Bible is full of inspiring passages that speak directly to the individual, and we can read them with an open and receptive heart, ready to be instructed by God, the divine Mind. One such verse, a favorite of mine, is found in the book of Isaiah: "I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."
