Did you know that you have a sacred contract with God? The Bible refers to it as a covenant. God’s covenants present His promises to His beloved children, including each of us.

Did you know that God wants you to be safe, protected, healthy, and well?  The Bible records Christ Jesus as saying he was doing the “will of the Father which hath sent me” ( John 5:30 ), and he healed countless individuals, even raising some from the dead. In one instance, when a leprous man sought healing from him, the Bible relates that “Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean.

I am learning that some healings require complete surrender to God, on our knees like Daniel in the Bible, humbly giving in to whatever God’s good design is.   When we nestle into the arms of divine Love, God, not outlining, not having a plan, not worrying about the future, but letting go and relying on God completely, the answer comes.

Traveling some distance by air and returning home after a short period of time may be a familiar scenario for many travelers. Years ago, I dearly wanted to travel from the United Kingdom to another country to attend my Christian Science students’ association meeting, but I could only spare a weekend to undertake this journey.

In the Preface of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures , which sets forth the divine Science of Mind-healing that Jesus practiced, Mary Baker Eddy wrote, “Future ages must declare what the pioneer has accomplished” ( p. vii ).

While humanity has devised a number of mechanisms for settling disputes—such as courts and tribunals, arbitration procedures, and other mechanisms for bringing people together harmoniously—I’ve found that true peace is obtained only when a radical change takes place in the consciousness of the parties involved.

Have you ever thought that the two simple words “Oh, no!” with a God-inspired thought behind them can prepare the way for healing? Well, they can! Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy has this to say about successfully overcoming challenges: “Suffering is no less a mental condition than is enjoyment. You cause bodily sufferings and increase them by admitting their reality and continuance, as directly as you enhance your joys by believing them to be real and continuous” ( p.

Some of the innate abilities that have come to light through my Christian Science practice are getting still to listen for God’s loving guidance and then being obedient to it. That’s when I do my best.

Christ Jesus was surely the Master, who showed his followers how to practice scientific Christianity. His Sermon on the Mount blueprints with clarity the good practice of graciously living the Christ message in daily life—a message requiring meekness, purity, and peace.
