Looking for an internship? God will lead the way.

It was late spring. With less than a month before the end of my sophomore year of college, I was still without a summer internship—and I was feeling the pressure. Both my majors required internships, but so far, nothing had worked out. 

In my head, I had outlined that I would complete my communication internship the summer after sophomore year, and the sociology internship after my junior year. But I was frustrated because, after sending out over twenty résumés and having a few phone interviews for a communication internship, I was still coming up empty-handed. 

At a certain point, it occurred to me that I could turn to prayer for help, as I have throughout my life. So I pulled out my copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and looked up a passage that seemed like a good basis for my prayers: “Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as He opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear” (p. 506).
