To understand and feel God's presence

Cristina Proano

One night my friends and I decided to go to a party we'd heard about. We met at a park so that we could all go to the party together. We were always meeting there—nothing bad had ever happened.

Just after we arrived, we saw that a group of about twenty guys were hitting and kicking someone. I wasn't afraid, but I started to pray as I had learned in Christian Science. "God is always in control," I prayed. I really wanted them to stop and leave that person alone. Then three of my friends recognized the one being beaten up. A few of us went over and tried to convince the gang to stop.
