Is there any way I can help?

From the September 2025 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a distressing situation and felt unsure how to respond? Perhaps you overheard a heated argument, or saw someone behaving rudely under the influence of alcohol. Or maybe you noticed someone struggling with illness or disability.

Even if we’ve had nothing to do with what’s going on, that doesn’t make it any easier to witness something disturbing. When trouble knocks at the door of our consciousness, we may wonder, “Is there any way I can help?” 

As the image and likeness of Love, God, we have a natural instinct to want to bring peace and resolution wherever we see inharmony. But sometimes we may doubt we can do so, or perhaps we feel it’s none of our business.
