Needed: Your prayers for the world
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
“How important are our prayers for the world!”
That was the thought that struck me one evening about two months ago, while I was attending my branch church’s Wednesday testimony meeting. The readings that evening were carefully chosen to address some of the world issues of the day, in particular a series of protests and revolutions that were challenging and even bringing down governments across the Arab world.
As a Christian Scientist I count myself fortunate to know about the system of divine healing that Mary Baker Eddy discovered and shared through her teaching, her writings, her Church, and her healing work. One of the key points Mrs. Eddy found was that the underlying cause of the world we live in was not physical but mental (see Science and Health, p. 114), and that through an understanding of the one divine Mind, God, discordant material thoughts can be replaced with harmonious spiritual ideas. With this concept, we see problematic situations dissolved and turned into ones governed by divine law and reflecting peace, joy, and health.
