How often in daily life we find ourselves faced with a difficult situation, and we ask ourselves: "Is there a way out? Can a solution be found?" Christian Science reveals that if we pray to God aright, we can find the answer to every question burdening our thought—the solution to all human problems.
Christian Science associates prayer with spiritual understanding. Its teachings, interpreting the Scriptures, give us an understanding of God as infinite, ever-present Spirit. They also reveal that God, the all-knowing Mind, is the only intelligence of man. Since man, according to the spiritual record of creation in Genesis, was made in God's image and likeness, he partakes of God's nature. The spiritual understanding of God and of man's relation to Him, therefore, is the key to the solution of all our problems.
Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, solved the problems confronting him through the understanding of his indissoluble relationship with God, his heavenly Father. It was the Christ, the spiritual idea of God, which enabled Jesus to meet and master these demands. He proved the power of the Christ beyond all doubt in his beneficent work for the welfare of mankind.
