How I prayed when a storm was coming

I live in Florida, where there are sometimes hurricanes. 

One time, a hurricane was heading right toward our town. I was really scared because the news said that there were tornadoes nearby, too. I thought that one might hit my house and destroy it.

But I’ve learned in Christian Science Sunday School that God is Love and is all good and that there is no spot where God is not. That means Love is everywhere.

I felt safe with those thoughts. I also knew that I could pray to protect my family and me. I felt safe with that thought, too, and I wasn’t scared anymore. 

My family and my house were not touched by the storms. 

Now I understand better that God is always caring for me and all of us. If I ever feel scared, I just need to listen to God and the good thoughts He sends me. These thoughts keep me safe.

I am grateful for what I am learning in Christian Science Sunday School and for knowing that I can pray and feel God’s presence everywhere I go, no matter what.
