As we look around, whether in our own experience or on the other side of the globe, we see problems of all kinds. But whatever the difficulties, we can find solutions by gaining a clearer understanding of the ultimate Principle—God.
Divine Principle (a synonym for God) is the foundational source that sets in order everything and everyone, aligning and sustaining all being and action in perfect harmony. We, as God’s children, are witnesses of this ever-operating Principle.
In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes of our relation to our creator: “Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe” (pp. 465–466). Substance, cause, effect, intelligence, wisdom, immortality, harmony, law, and all being are expressions of Principle. The universe, including all God’s children, proceeds from and is a confirmation of this infinite Principle, Love. In this loving home where we all live, no mistake or evil can exist. Whatever form evil seems to take, it is a false belief that Principle is absent. And the fact of Principle’s omnipresence and all-goodness is key to solving problems through prayer.
