Many people question when and how the current trend of rising materialism can be stopped. What can the individual Christian Scientist do to help combat the blatant sensualism and spiritual deficiency expressed today?
One's primal resort should be to pray more earnestly and scientifically for the spiritual enrichment of all mankind. Potent scientific prayer can always be utilized for the demonstration of divine reality. This restores within human consciousness a perspicacious sense of God's unchanging perfection and goodness and His unerring government of the real, spiritual man.
One is never praying scientifically if he is only wishing for outwardly alarming conditions in the world to disappear, only pleading with God to correct something in His own creation that the individual thinks has gone awry. Such is never the case with prayer as taught in Christian Science.
