One day when I was in high school, I was protected from being caught up in a school riot. My mother was a Christian Scientist, and she prayed for my sisters and me every day. That morning she had felt a strong intuition to pray especially for me. She never told me specifically how she prayed, but I’m sure she prayed until she felt the certainty and peace that I was always in God’s care.
Under the normal routine of my school day, I could easily have been caught in the middle of the riot, but my actions that day led me to just miss it. Learning later about the intuition that had come to my mother that morning, I was grateful for the protection I had experienced.
Sensing a need, my mother had turned in prayer to the spiritual truths taught in Christian Science and drawn from the Holy Bible. Such truths have long brought protection to people in various ways, as evidenced in numerous testimonies that have appeared in this and other Christian Science periodicals telling of safety individuals have experienced.
