If your crush doesn’t like you back
I was in love. But there was a problem. Three other guys also liked this girl, and she couldn’t seem to make up her mind among us. She was overwhelmed by all the attention. I was in agony. How could I get her to like me more?
As I thought about my sad situation one evening, it occurred to me that I could pray about it. I’d grown up going to Christian Science Sunday School, where I’d learned how to pray—though mostly, up to this point, my parents or a Christian Science practitioner had prayed on my behalf. This time, I figured I should try praying on my own.
I reached for a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, the textbook of Christian Science written by Mary Baker Eddy. I turned to the first chapter, titled “Prayer,” to the place where Mrs. Eddy gives her spiritual interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer from the Bible (see pp. 16–17). I read it over slowly a few times.
