Putting church ahead of panic

From the August 2017 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Every time I attend church, I am very grateful to be there and know that healing is radiating out in so many directions. On a recent Sunday morning I was looking forward to attending church after helping out my family. I had agreed to drive my grandson to his early-morning music rehearsal before a concert later that afternoon.

Sometime after a gas stop, I noticed that the car’s gas cap door was open. I pulled over and closed it properly. Later, I noticed my cell phone, which had been in my lap, was missing. I prayed for calm trust. A strong thought came that the phone had fallen out of the car when I’d gotten out. But I had no idea exactly where on the highway that was.

The message “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5, 6) reminded me to trust in divine Mind’s direction.
