How I Found Christian Science October 31, 2016 Issue

Blessed by prayer

Ute Keller

I feel that this is a very good time to share my deep gratitude for Christian Science.

Let me begin by saying that I have always seen the connection between how I was led to Christian Science and the prayers in Churches of Christ, Scientist. While our Church Manual states that these prayers “shall be offered for the congregations collectively and exclusively” (Mary Baker Eddy, p. 42), they have a ripple effect, resulting in blessings for humanity.

For many years I was looking for a deeper understanding of God and man, of happiness, of health, and of what constitutes true brotherhood. God had always been a friend to me, but I just didn’t understand Him. I yearned to feel His presence and guidance. I felt I could find all my answers from God, and I was sure that it was possible to find Him and to walk with God, as the early prophets did and as Christ Jesus did.
