'HOW DO YOU PRAY FOR YOURSELF DAILY?'
People from around the world tell us ...
CALI MCCLURE
Barrington, Illinois
I pray first thing every morning by listening with my whole heart for God's direction or messages to me. I pray about any immediate issues I'm dealing with in my life, replacing any thoughts of discord with the spiritual facts of my being, of harmony and peace—gained from my study of the Bible and Science and Health. This kind of prayer purifies my thought about myself and others, and compels me to thank God for His goodness and love.
To stay focused, I write down thoughts that come to me as I study the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson found in the Christian Science Quarterly. These notes usually become Christian Science treatments, which are specific prayers for a particular problem or need. I pray to deeply realize my ability to express all of God's qualities because I am His image (see Gen. 1:27). This further helps replace incorrect thoughts or habits with the acknowledgment that only God and His goodness are present in my life. Daily I listen for fresh new insights. Then, in the evening or the next morning, I read my notes to see how my prayer has affected my day—how inspiration or healing has taken place.
