Christian Science awakened me to the necessity of bringing into every facet of my life the spiritual understanding of God's closeness and never-failing direction. This guidance has been most helpful in accomplishing that goal: "Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts" (Science and Health).
