Inspiration behind ‘A 91st Psalm prayer’ in February’s Journal

From The Christian Science Journal - April 8, 2013


The thing that’s so remarkable about the 91st Psalm is the way it expunges fear.

In my single motherhood, it seemed as though there were a thousand fears to be put down. But after the children were well launched, and even after I married again, I found fear would assert itself for no reason at all. It was startling to realize one day that fear had become a habit. 

There had to be a way to destroy this enemy because fear would always make me agree to a limitation on God’s love for creation. So, I committed to working with the 91st Psalm for almost two years. The interpretation I shared in the recent Journal (February 2013) was the result of that work. It was wonderful the way the editors helped me shape my notes into a form more accessible to the readership. I’m so happy for the many people who have written to say how it helped them.
