Of good report

Holding tight to inspiration

From the January 2025 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I took up an initiative a couple of years ago to be more alert to God’s messages. I started a daily practice of grabbing onto ideas or messages from God that I heard, writing little notes to myself about them, and sticking them in my pocket. These inspired ideas helped keep me consistently grounded.

Later I added to that practice, writing specific gratitude for moments during the day when I knew that I had experienced God’s goodness or had felt His presence. An example could be a well-timed phone call. You know, God’s time is always right. God doesn’t work with hours and minutes. God, as Principle, causes right activity to occur in its proper sequence. And so, when I have a well-timed phone call, I’m thankful to God, and I write my gratitude on my little piece of paper to hold that experience firm. In this way I remember the little evidences of God I see around me all day long.

I might as well make God the priority and feel fearless and confident in what I knew
of Him.
