One day last year, while working in my office, it came to me to call home. My wife said, "I have had an accident. Come home quickly." Then silence.
Later I learned she had fallen heavily on the kitchen floor, striking the base of her spine. The impact left her in a semiconscious state, unable to sit upright. My office is about five miles from home, and as I hurried to my car, the thought came to me clearly that God, good, is omnipotent and ever present here, at home, and everywhere. This quieted my fear.
Mrs. Eddy puts it this way in the textbook, Science and Health (p. 559): "The 'still, small voice' of scientific thought reaches over continent and ocean to the globe's remotest bound. The inaudible voice of Truth is, to the human mind, 'as when a lion roareth.' It is heard in the desert and in dark places of fear."
