Never alone
Originally written in Spanish, this was first published in the May 2013 Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German editions of The Herald of Christian Science.
When I was a junior in college, I opened an advertising agency with two friends. Soon I realized that it was quite difficult to both do my studies and maintain the ad agency. One week I had to accomplish so much that the situation became a huge burden.
I was quite worried until I decided I could pray about this. Almost immediately, a phrase from the Bible came to my mind: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10). This idea helped me see that I wasn’t alone. “Being still” didn’t mean that I had to sit and do nothing. I just needed to trust that God would guide me to do everything with wisdom. Divine Love is a power that can solve everything; it is right at hand and can be proved to be so.
Whenever the temptation to worry crept in, I remembered that Bible passage. I felt strengthened by the certainty that everything was under God’s control. As a consequence, something great happened. All things began to shape up, and by the end of that week, I had met all my obligations without any effort on my part to control any outcomes. And all went well.
