What is it? What does it do? How does it work?
"'Thy kingdom come;' let the reign of divine Truth, Life, and Love be established in me, and rule out of me all sin; and may Thy Word enrich the affections of all mankind, and govern them!" Man., Art. VIII, Sect. 4 This "Daily Prayer" from the Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy is a call to action. I realized suddenly one morning that unless I actually practiced those precepts during the rest of the day, I was only repeating words.
What we actually demonstrate of prayer is what we have to contribute to the welfare of all. Spiritual concepts have value only as they are lived. Then prayer on behalf of ourselves and others embodies healing power.
