Daily devotion, study, and prayer

Carol Rounds

Christian Science is based on universal, divine laws of God, which anyone can practice and apply to their life. When I have been consistent and thorough in my work to understand and apply these divine laws (as Jesus did), this has brought me healing.

When I first became a student of Christian Science, my beginning efforts to understand and practice it were sporadic. There were times when I steeped myself in study of the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. But there were other times when I didn’t even read the weekly Bible Lesson (found in the Christian Science Quarterly),which most Christian Scientists read and study daily. Whenever I faced some difficulty that I wanted to see resolved through Christian Science, I would usually do a lot of prayer and study—at other times, not as much. In those beginning days I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me when difficulties arose, and I usually experienced quick healing and resolution of problems.

The goal of this devotion, study, and prayer is to draw closer to God.
