A power-packed prayer

One day I spoke back to my mom. And as a consequence she took away my iPod. I was more than upset and burst out in tears. I climbed into my bed and looked at a small frame that told the Christian Science Daily Prayer. It goes like this:

“Thy kingdom come;”
let the reign
of divine Truth, Life, and Love
be established in me,
and rule out of me all sin;
and may Thy Word enrich
the affections of all mankind,
and govern them!
(Mary Baker Eddy, Church Manual, p. 41 )

Now you see, my grandpa gave me this framed prayer as a gift. I decided to read it over and over again. And each time I felt a little better. Finally, I was calm again, and I was able to apologize to my mom.

Moral: Sometimes it just takes a prayer.
