GOD'S CARE IS FOREVER

MATTHEW HOFFMAN

When I lost my mother at a young age, I wasn't prepared. Emotions and questions raced through my mind. At first I asked, "Where was God in all of this?"

Immediately I began praying with a Christian Science practitioner. I longed to grasp more fully the deathless nature of God's creation, and the spiritual fact that my mother's life had not been extinguished. I struggled to know that I was fully equipped to handle everything that needed to be done, and asked God for grace, support, and composure over the coming days and weeks. I realized that I could trust Him with everything.

Through prayer, my feelings of grief, shock, and personal responsibility began to be replaced with a renewed understanding of the spiritual identity and enduring, indestructible nature of each one of God's children. Glimpsing the truth that God is infinite Life helped me see that there was no reality in death, and resist the false notion that had me believing otherwise. As I held to these spiritual ideas, and saw them operating for myself and for all those around me, I felt a wonderful healing taking place.
