How GRATEFUL I am for each copy of the monthly Journal and for the weekly issues of the Christian Science Sentinel. They are always filled with helpful spiritual ideas. And they encourage me to hold fast to the truth that as God's child, spiritual and perfect. Many times a particular article has given me a greater understanding of this fact. I have even experienced physical healing as the result of applying the ideas expressed in a particular article.
One example of this occurred when I woke during the night to find that I was unable to straighten my leg or place it in a comfortable position. Although I was frightened, I decided right away to pray. I knew that I had to hold fast to the spiritual fact that I was safe in God's care. And that I must not let anything fool me into believing that something bad was happening to me.
I was strengthened in this by recalling an article I'd been reading that day in the Journal. It urged me not to be drawn away from the truth regarding my pure, spiritual identity. The ideas were presented so clearly that I was convinced of the utter falsity of life or intelligence in matter.
