Cybersecurity—every prayer counts

Martha C. Sarvis

Advances in technology have brought many helpful tools to smooth the tasks of daily life, but with these advances have come apparent new vulnerabilities. The apps and types of devices many of us rely on are consistently being probed to determine and exploit these vulnerabilities. Whether we’re ordinary people with no technological expertise or professionals on the front lines of these issues, our prayers are vital to uncover and correct these problems and address criminal intent.

The starting point for our prayer is to realize that there’s only one divine Mind, God, that governs each of us as Mind’s ideas. As we grow to understand and express this divine Mind, solutions are uncovered, and bad behavior is diminished.

But are these security challenges really new? Or are they just another phase of animal magnetism? Animal magnetism is the seeming pull on the human mind to keep it focused on matter or evil. Sometimes it can seem to constantly bombard thought. It leads to the criminal element that probes software and devices for vulnerabilities.
