We read in the book of Job in the Bible, "Canst thou by searching find out God?" I have found that through a sincere search one does find God and His laws, which help and heal.
While I was attending school years ago, Christian Science was mentioned briefly by a classmate. As a child I had learned about God and Christ Jesus—about things pertaining to Christianity. I loved to pray, and whenever God and Christ Jesus were mentioned, my attention was immediately given to the conversation. So the words Christian Science and what Christian Scientists believe were very interesting to me.
One of my prayers in the church I attended was, "Dear God, show me the straight and narrow way." The reason for this particular prayer was that I often felt quite confused. This had been attributed to a head injury I'd received as a child. It wasn't healing that I was looking for. (I thought that happened only in Jesus' time.) But I wanted to know God better. I prayed continually.
