Teaching in Sunday School can be successful—if our prayer is right!
Discovering the inspiration for one's Sunday School class takes one into the heart of Christian Science, because it means plunging beneath the surface of human living and coming up with the applicable laws of Spirit. The "how" of right prayer comes in direct proportion to our silencing the material senses. Entering into the closet of spiritual sense, we shut the doors of limitation, fear, failure, discouragement, and open wide our thought to irreversible Truth. This denial of limited views of teaching and acceptance of the infinitude of divine Mind unfolds spontaneous, creative, and spiritually inspired avenues of teaching. Consequently, the weekly gathering of teacher and pupils compels mental growth and gives the pupils necessary strengthening in the therapeutic and preventive modes of divine Mind, which are capable of guiding and protecting them in any situation.
A Christian Scientist who desired a more inspired approach to Sunday School teaching was encouraged when the answer to this desire came partly in the form of a physical healing. Miserable with an illness, she called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful treatment. All she wanted was peace from the pain and displeasure the illness was causing her. The practitioner asked her a perceptive question: "How are you praying?"
