‘Dear God, what is the standard?’
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalms 46:1). I love this Bible citation. Its truth sustained me through some challenging years and led me to Christian Science.
I was on a trip on an island off the West Coast of the United States. As I biked through a little village, I passed a Christian Science Reading Room and felt compelled to go in. An attendant patiently answered my questions and shared information about the study and healing practice of Christian Science. The atmosphere of peace in that Reading Room was palpable, and I felt that something very significant might be found there. When I left to continue my ride, the attendant gave me several issues of the Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Journal.
