Relying on God for test-taking

From the November 2025 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Although my life was active with children and a busy husband, I decided to return to college. It was a challenge! 

At one point, a two-hour-long test was looming and my professor suggested that we study hard because it would have a lot of weight on our final grades. I studied the notes I had taken during the lectures. I had been trusting, as I listened in class, that God was giving me spiritual intuition to hear the important points, and my notes consisted of these points. 

This intuition, I’ve learned through Christian Science, is called spiritual sense. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy says, “Spiritual sense is a conscious, constant capacity to understand God” (p. 209). This is an ability we all possess to perceive God and His guidance.
