Prayer dissolves bureaucratic delay

Several months ago I went to a government office in the country where I live in order to obtain a document for my younger sister.

The evening before, I prayed to understand that there aren’t two minds—one mind (mine) that was going to ask another mind (someone’s at the office) for something—but there is only one Mind, which is God, that meets every need. This is what I have learned from my study of Christian Science.

The next morning, when I arrived at the office, I was informed that I wouldn’t be able to receive the document before four o’clock in the afternoon, because everyone who was authorized to sign that type of document was in a meeting, and they wouldn’t finish before three. I didn’t want to wait that long, though, because I needed to return home quickly in order to do other errands.
