Winning the battle with loneliness

I realized that a closer walk—an hour-by-hour lived connection—with God could lift anyone out of a deep loneliness.
God’s goodness, law, and love filled all space, including my consciousness and the very place where the disturbance seemed to be.
I needed to turn away from a sense of myself as a mortal having too much to do and recognize my true identity as a beloved, cared-for child of God, an ever-present help.
I was learning about God’s love for all His creatures. I knew that prayer would help us find Tony, and I was very grateful for that.
I went back to washing the dishes and started thinking about the Comforter, which Jesus promised would lead us into all truth. It was as if sunshine, joy, and intelligence were filling my kitchen.
I had been believing that I was separated from God and not fully cared for by Him. I saw that I needed to let go of fear and completely trust God’s power. This cleared the way for healing.
As I began to gain ground in my prayers, a thought came: “Ah, but what if this is persistent?” A moment later, as clear as a bell, came this thought from God: “I am more persistent!”
When I read this editorial, I was reminded of how practical Christian Science is and of the blessings that come as we expand our understanding of what that practicality means in its application to healing disease and other erroneous claims.
