Divine Love is a wonderful spiritual guide. Following Jesus’ example, I often pray that God’s will be done. I might say to myself, “Father, show me, guide me, govern me. I want to do only what You want me to do. I want to go only where You want me to go. It’s Your will, Father, and not mine. You lead the way, not me.”
It’s this type of pleading that helped me after I rather foolishly intervened in a fight between three cats in an attempt to rescue one of them. The cat, being in a state of terror and not realizing I was trying to help him, turned on me and lacerated my arm and badly bit my wrist. The cat belonged to my then very new husband. My husband would have liked me to seek medical help, but I assured him I would work it out in Christian Science and promised to take care of myself properly.
At that moment, I asked God what I should do. I prayed wholeheartedly to know that all of God’s creation, including myself and the cat, were spiritual expressions of Love and, therefore, were gentle and harmless.
