Resting—in action!
Tony Lobl
When called to do so, we too can perform duties that limit our sleep “without harm” to ourselves—whether completing a deadlined project, or responding to an urgent request for healing prayer. This isn’t about powering through on the promised adrenalin of human will, but about letting that communing with God open our thoughts to a profound peace that’s always inherent in us as God’s offspring.

Sleeping well
Lyle Young
Prayer has led me to not be preoccupied with screens or email when I go to bed but to cherish that time as quiet time with God, a time for listening for thoughts from God.

Proving the power of God during a pandemic
Curtis Wahlberg
I aspire to prove that a spiritual, prayer-based effort offers the surest protection because it addresses the essential problem: the belief that matter and material laws rule our lives. Each proof that life is governed by Spirit, not human beliefs about contagion, is a step toward finding the way out of the limits and destructive nature of the belief of life in matter.

Testimony of Healing
Freedom of movement regained
Cathy Edge
The fear began to fade, and my prayers gained strength and momentum. My trust in God’s constant, tender care reassured me that nothing could harm me.
Testimony of Healing
Healed after headfirst fall
Elizabeth Pond
I thought of Mary Baker Eddy’s definition of “the proof of healing” as “a sweet and certain sense that God is Love” (Science and Health, p. 569). I really felt that sweet and certain sense of the presence of Love with me.
Testimony of Healing
Torn relationship and ligaments mended
Michael Mooslin
I returned on the second day at the base hospital to complete the reserve weekend, where my doctor friends were incredulous. We spent the day talking about Christian Science and how prayer heals.

You deserve to be healed
Eric Nelson
Even when healings don’t happen as quickly as we would like, there should never come a time when we stop insisting on the fact of God’s love for us, even the all-presence and power of divine Love itself.

Learning the not-so-hard way

Turning to this perfect Mind to know how to think and act, pausing to listen to wisdom in place of the impulses of a false sense of self, we steer clear of the minefield of reactionary, negative behavior and learn and live more of the divine nature.
Article
Identity—what am I seeing?
Ryan Vigil
I found that in seeing myself as the expression of God, divine Love, I was giving others the opportunity to see me that way, too. And I found that I was able to see and honor each individual’s unique identity while recognizing, above all, our brotherhood and sisterhood as children of God.
