"When my heart is overwhelmed"

From the December 1986 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I," Ps. 61:2. sang the Psalmist. It is a heartwarming truth that even though we may feel far from God's help or drowning in waters too deep for us to stand in, there is always the high rock—the rock of salvation—to catch hold of and stand upon. There is always present divine Love's leading to guide us to that solid foundation, the rock of Christ, Truth.

That was the substance of a question asked of me when I was teaching a Christian Science Sunday School class of eleven-year-olds.

"Oh?" I asked. "What happens when he cries in the night?"
