In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

A healing of my own

This camp counselor hadn’t had many healings of his own when he injured himself at camp. But even though the injury didn’t seem like a big deal, he realized this was still an opportunity to pray.
I was being called to adopt an attitude that included both a willingness to give generously and a trust that my daily needs would be met.

Milestones, not millstones

Being able to walk—and leap—free of pain after a challenging injury is a milestone that I have turned to many times when difficulties have arisen, in gratitude for God’s goodness.

Being a lie detector

Relief came when I detected the lie and remained firmly, vehemently rooted in what I knew was true. Within an hour all pain had left my hand.
I couldn’t feel or even see where the bee had stung me. The mark was totally gone.

Tears of Gethsemane

Sincere and humble prayer opens the way toward healing inspiration.

Sailing with strength

On a windy day, this teen found herself dumped into the ocean when her sailboat capsized. She’d never been able to right a boat by herself before. What would make the difference this time?
Prayer gave us confidence that God’s great love would protect my daughter, and the other girls, too.

Safe at school

Every school and child is embraced and protected in God’s kingdom, the “peaceable habitation” described in the book of Isaiah in the Bible.

Saved in a blizzard

I continued to panic and felt trapped, knowing that if the car ran out of gas, it wouldn’t be long before I would be in dire straits. I was so shaken that I figuratively threw my hands in the air and asked God, “Now what do I do?”

Because God loves me

A poem about how much God loves us all 
In those moments of feeling God’s presence, of feeling the vastness of divine Love, the unstoppability of Life, the stages of grief seemed to evaporate like a mist when the sun shines through.
