Increased reliance on God

By Lillian McCall Laggart

Since receiving class instruction , I haven’t had startling spiritual revelations or experienced what one might call “spectacular” physical or emotional healings. What I have noticed is a steady and constant increase in confidence and trust in God and His goodness, and a corresponding decrease in the quantity and severity of circumstances that need to be addressed with specific Christian Science treatment. In addition to the training that class gave me in the scope and the method of Scientific healing, I’m finding that at every moment, I’m coming to rely on God more and more.

At one point, my work situation was difficult because as a new on-call employee (consequently, with little job security), I felt under pressure about my job performance. However, in the months since class, I’ve been promoted, feel I’ve gained respect, and have the desire to support a diligent approach to training and management in my work. 

With every new challenge, I felt God’s love. I felt confident in applying Christian Science treatment to work situations with vigor and clarity, and prayed with the idea that my employment was innate—that my job was to be me, and that was something only I could do because God created me specifically to fulfill a unique purpose. I prayed to see that the male and female of God’s creating were not at odds, and saw evidence of this in the workplace as an increased ability for me and my colleagues to work in unison, as part of a team.
