In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

I began attending a Christian Science church and found a way of living that brings healing and hope.

Aria and the bee

Aria knew she could trust God’s care, follow God’s thoughts, and feel well.
We exist to show forth not our own nature but the nature of God, including God’s flawless wholeness.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-hatred, you may know the pattern of critical, hateful, self-destructive thoughts all too well. This author certainly did. But after she found Christian Science, she discovered a new way of looking at herself that brought freedom.

Pray about sports? Really?

When this field hockey player’s dad encouraged her to pray about her games, she brushed it off, thinking it was just a pep talk. But then came a day when she did pray . . . and it changed her whole approach to sports.
The teaching of Christian Science that each and every one of us is free inspires us to understand the spiritual basis of true freedom and demonstrate that freedom through grace.

Think singing thoughts

On the morning of the audition, I awoke with absolutely no voice. I had learned so much about the mental nature of activity through my study of Christian Science that it came to me very clearly that this was an opportunity to prove that singing is entirely mental and not dependent upon materiality at all.
Jesus healed—almost involuntarily—by the very nature of his oneness with God, his pure embodiment of “the ever-presence of ministering Love.”
The radical kind of humility we all need is a kind of self-sacrifice—getting rid of the thought of ourselves as separate from God.

"I feel like I can't quit"

This author felt trapped in a cycle of trying—and failing—to break free from an addiction. But after she began reading Science and Health, she discovered a new way of looking at herself that, to her surprise, brought quick and complete healing.
When the circumstances of the pandemic pulled her into a dark hole of restlessness and anxiety, this teen thought she could just ride out the misery until life went back to normal. But when that didn’t work, she found an even better answer in Christian Science.
If we are confronted by a shortage of something that is needed, we can prayerfully rebuke any limited, material picture with the spiritual fact that the divine law of Love includes the provision of good in every situation.
