Concerns resolved through putting God first
I had just moved overseas when I learned that my husband of 16 years was intimately involved with someone else, had rung up sizable debts, and had developed issues with alcohol. As I shared this with a friend who is also a Christian Scientist, she began to talk about my relationship to God.
As a lifelong Christian Scientist, I thought I had pretty much always prioritized my relationship to God. But I’ll admit that this relationship wasn’t the one that was uppermost in my thought right then. As I talked with my loving friend, however, I realized I could think more deeply about what it meant to put my relationship to God first in my life.
