In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

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

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. 
Wisdom’s voice can be heard and accepted. It can win the day for individuals and for nations.
Moment by moment, I listened quietly to God’s messages of love. It was a yielding, a letting go of human struggling and striving, but not in a fatalistic way. It was more like handing the problem over to a loving parent.
I had a thought that I might find a best friend very soon. I think that might have been God talking to me because of what happened next.

Decisive joy 

If I feel as if I’ve lost my joy, I go looking for it! And I keep searching until I find it. I pray about joy, for myself and for the world. Joy comes from knowing God, loving God, and being grateful for God’s love for all.
