In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be easy to lose sight of a spiritual perspective. But my recent journey to India for a work trip became a profound healing demonstration of the power of God, Spirit.
My wife and our two young children, ages two and seven, accompanied me. The adventure began with an intense 27-hour journey from our home in St. Louis to just outside of Delhi. The trip included a 10.5-hour time change and left us exhausted and disoriented. We arrived at our destination at midnight and went to bed. Our children woke at 4 a.m. and my wife and I got up to care for them. Feeling overwhelmed, my wife and I quickly lost our tempers and then tried to calm each other down. The prospect of a long day at the office loomed.
The breaking point arrived at 5 a.m., as a pounding headache and frustration enveloped me. But then I remembered the greatest and most powerful tool I have: prayer. (Long ago, my wife and I had agreed that relying on God was our foundation.) So I turned to the spiritual anchor that has guided me through countless challenges, the Christian Science Bible Lesson.
