Feeling scared? God is there.

Oh, the fun of going on a family vacation, with scuba diving as the main event! I had never been scuba diving, but it sounded great—seeing lots of colorful fish and corals in the peace of the water’s depths. Pictures of and videos about scuba diving made it look easy. I trained in a pool for a couple of days, then went out for a real dive. 

The dive master promised to stay with me the entire time, but soon he had to go help another diver. Suddenly I was alone—uncertain and just plain scared to be so deep in the water.

Having grown up attending Christian Science Sunday School, I found it natural to turn to God for help. Over the years, I had memorized several Bible verses and hymns that meant a lot to me. I had also learned that angels are thoughts that come to us from God to help us feel God’s loving guidance and protection in any situation. So I wholeheartedly turned to God and listened for angels.
