What God knows

From the February 2011 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I once knew a Christian Science practitioner who seemed always near the phone taking calls for the practice. I asked her, “Do you spend all your time thinking about God?”

She replied, “Actually, my prayers are most effective when I think as God.”

Her comment surprised me. Science and Health makes it clear that man is not God, so I assumed prayer meant thinking about God. It seemed presumptuous to think as God, and I dismissed the idea.
