Divine Science shed new light on my job search
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
I’d been selling real estate quite successfully, but when I needed to take care of my mother during the last months of her life, I wasn’t able to focus on my business. As a result, my income dwindled and bills piled up. After my mother passed on, I needed a steady paycheck so that I could address these pressing needs quickly.
Since I approach life from a spiritual standpoint, I began my job search with prayer, supported by the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. My study of these two books wasn’t a random search for inspiration. It was actually turning to the Science of God and man. I was sure this Science would answer my questions about the meaning of life and also lead me to the kind of work that would make best use of the abilities God had given me.
I wanted to get a deeper understanding of my purpose in life, and where I fit into the divine scheme of things. In other words, to find a job that would best enable me to fulfill God’s plan for me. I knew from previous experience that to start by acknowledging God as my source, as the Creator of all, would get me going in the right direction.
