Trusting God, even with the little things

Originally appeared online in the teen series Your Healings -  September 10, 2024. 

I had volunteered to bring food coloring for a project at school. But on the day of the project, I forgot it. For a moment, I was stressed because I knew people were relying on me, and I felt I’d let them down. 

But instead of freaking out, I asked myself what I was going to do. I could call my mom, or I could tell my classmates and teacher that I’d forgotten. Just then, though, a sentence that I’d read on the wall of my local branch Church of Christ, Scientist, came to me. It says, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 494).

Attending Christian Science Sunday School has taught me that God, divine Love, meets our needs, big or small.
