My daughter had just had a baby, and as a master’s degree student, she needed help reconciling her studies and motherhood tasks. She lives in another country and asked me if I could come and help her out for three months.
At first this seemed like a long time to take off work. But as I turned to God in prayer, I understood that being by her side for this period would be good for both of us. As I prayed to be sure that everything would work out with my job, I held firmly to the idea that we live and move in God, good, divine Life and Love.
That week, this passage appeared in the Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly: “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering” (Colossians 3:12). I decided to mentally “put on” the qualities described above and acknowledged that it was impossible for good not to be expressed. I also recognized that our Father-Mother God is always by our side, never leaves us, and always provides an answer.
