Do you ever feel you have a “laundry list” of things that you need to work on in your life? The thought may come, “Where do I even begin?” or maybe “I have so much to work on; I’ll just think about all this later.” There is always something to pray about!

When I pray, I turn to the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy. Studying these books gives me a clearer understanding that man—the true identity of each one of us—is God’s expression, whole and complete, and that prayer is certain, infinitely helpful, and not guesswork.

I am a Christian Science practitioner, and sometimes when people ask me for treatment in Christian Science, they tell me that there are a bunch of issues they’re dealing with and add, “I’m not sure where to begin, but let’s start with this.” And I first address their “laundry list” thoughts and their overwhelming feelings of “where do I even begin?” I meet this directly with prayer, knowing that man, God’s child, is spiritual and already free—is never overwhelmed, lost, confused, discordant, fractured, in over his head, or limited in any way.
