GOD IS NON-STOP

PRAYER TAKES BURDEN OFF SCHOOL AND MUSICAL ACTIVITIES

BY ANN REIGHART

My School days are jam-packed with activity.

Before the sun is even up in the morning, I'm off to school where I scurry from one class to the next. When the bell rings at the end of the school day, I hop in the car to get a ride home, ready for another schedule of events—sometimes soccer practice, ballet class, or a piano lesson, doing my homework in between. Even though it can be tempting to find the incessant bustle and buzz of my busy days exhausting, my reliance on God for strength and intelligence provides me with an endless source of energy.

I've learned in Sunday School that I precisely reflect all of God's qualities, like a still lake brilliantly reflects the moon shining in the night. God is the Creator and Governor of His own universe. And each one of His ideas, including me, is guided on His perfect path. Undoubtedly, God has a good plan for all of His children. I've proved this in my life when I've experienced healing from sickness and fear, through my study of Christian Science. I like the countless stories in the Bible that tell how God helps and guides His children every step of the way. For instance, God helped Noah build the huge ark, and God guided Moses while he saved the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt. God didn't abandon Daniel in the lion's den, or leave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego helpless in fiery furnace.
