Fresh gratitude—every day

Recognizing evidence of God's goodness can be a first step on the path to healing.

Adrienne Mead Tindall

"Yes , I'll pray for you," the practitioner said. And then he suggested that as I continued to pray also, I might make note of the things I was grateful for.

A Christian Science practitioner's prayer includes many things, such as affirmations of God's perfection and the perfection of His spiritual creation man; strong insistence on God's all-power, and equally strong recognition that there is no power left over for evil. These are affirmations of the power of divine Truth to vanquish, to annihilate, all phases of error.

I was being asked to join in the praying by acknowledging all the goodness I could see in my life—by consciously being grateful for good. I had listed things I was grateful for once before at a time when I was deeply depressed, and I remembered the blessings it had brought.
