What could be more compelling than the present possibility of Christian healing? This is news we should want to read!
The spiritual closet of prayer is a sacred shelter where we commune with God as Jacob did—face to face.
The truths in Science and Health, revealed by God, speak directly to each of us.

Following the star

God’s light shines on and for all of us, all the time.

What makes us new?

The ceaselessness of divine Life, a Bible-based name for God, is the ever-present renewing power. It restores, regenerates, and brings freshness to our lives—no matter the season.

Humility, not reaction

Humility is not a passive acceptance of evil. Instead, it is the willingness to turn to God faithfully and diligently and yield our human opinions and impulses to the fact that God is, in reality, in complete control of our lives.
Heartfelt gratitude to God for the good in our lives is a multiplier of that good.

Healing is within reach

The Christ acts naturally within thought to counteract all physical and mental concerns and fears. It heals. It destroys disease. It wipes away all tears.

What are we assuming?

Our job is to listen for Christ’s voice pointing out, not just wrong thoughts we may be indulging, but the assumptions underlying those thoughts.
Whether we are desiring to lay aside shyness, pain, frustration, brokenness, lack, or any other limitation, we can turn to our divine Father-Mother in prayer, and allow His angels to lead us out of limited, materialistic thought patterns, which seem to be fertile ground for difficulties.

Loving our true self

The better we understand God, the better we see our true self—not in terms of human personality traits, but as the offspring of God. This keeps us from engaging in chronic self-improvement or self-criticism.
