Praying all by myself
When I was a kid, I loved going to Christian Science Sunday School each week. I loved my teacher. She was always so cheerful. I loved sitting around a table with the other kids, talking about stories in the Bible. Most of all, I loved what I was learning, because it made me feel so comforted.
Sunday School was about God and about how to pray. One of the first ideas I learned to pray with was “There is no spot where God is not.” That means God is everywhere. That means Love (another name for God) is everywhere. There’s not one tiny place where God, Love, isn’t.
Another thing I learned in Sunday School is that these ideas we talked about weren’t just for Sundays. They were for every day. I could pray with them and be healed. So, one day I decided to pray all by myself about some warts that were on my hands.
