God’s ever-present care for humanity is shown throughout the Bible. It is articulated this way in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (p. 494).

Given all the suffering seen in the world, we could ask how this statement could be true. In answer, we might start by considering that divine Love, God, being infinite, is more than equal to any human circumstance, even ones we can’t see. This is because human circumstances are confined to what is perceived by the physical senses, which could never even begin to challenge the magnitude and omnipotent capacity of the limitless, eternal harmony, safety, and peace of divine Mind, God. It is God’s love that shows us, through Christ—the true, wholly spiritual idea of God—how to understand and demonstrate this.

When we call out to God and pray for help, God’s answer is essentially, “I have helped you. I have given you My laws. They will keep you safe in all situations. Trust them. Obey them.” So our work is to know God’s laws and live by them.
