Poems

A Reader prays in preparation

From the July 2024 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I thank You, Father, that
in the quietude of prayer and preparation,
I know You are with me, for we are eternally one.
You are my Life, Mind, substance, and guiding light,
so I strive to listen and hear. 

Only You, infinite One, awaken, form, and free,
so I surrender, in childlike trust and wonder,
to Your wisdom, Your Word, Your insight
for what the congregation,
the community, the world now needs. 

You lead me to truths that heal all ills,
and I know Your love meets every need. 
I am one with Truth, the infinite All-in-all,
which needs neither time nor space to be manifested 
. . . for Truth is already proven true.
