Listening for God in Sunday School

From the February 1980 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The robin's song was loud and clear as the sunlight poured into my bedroom early one Sunday morning. As I lay relaxing in the beauty of the new day, I suddenly remembered, with some foreboding, that I was to substitute again in Sunday School for a class of nine- and ten-year-old girls. I had taught them for three Sundays—with little satisfaction or success. The girls were of varied backgrounds in Christian Science, and a couple of them were quite precocious.

But then I brought my thoughts into focus and began to think about what I had prayed all week: "Let me listen for God's direction and find His way to heal this situation."

I began to see the path was open. God, divine Mind, is the only Mind and is always giving us His ideas. He is always guiding us. Listening for Him, we can follow in the way of His directing. It is our job to open our thought so completely to the one Mind that we are filled with spiritual truths that will continue to direct us during the Sunday School hour.
