Christian Science Sentinel

The physical law that a bullet traveling at great speed will not stop without a solid object to stop it, was nullified. I experienced the safety that flows from a spiritual understanding of God and man, and this safety is available to all of us.

Fatherhood need not be a mental tug of war between Dad and the kids. The solution I've found is to stop pushing and instead to yield to the heavenly Father through humble prayer.

The words “deep melancholia” persistently knocked at the door of my thought after my wife filed for divorce and full custody. I realized that God was my only hope for breaking out of what seemed a hopeless situation

I gradually began learning about Christian Science, including reading testimonies of healing. But I still felt a long way from dealing with eczema, which I’d suffered from since infancy and had been treating medically. Then one day I decided to pray and everything changed.

When I joined the United States Army, I turned to Christian Science as never before. Probably at no other time in my life had I relied on understanding my spiritual status as the image and likeness of God as much as at Infantry Officer Candidate School (OCS), held at Fort Benning, Georgia.

I was at a private party when demonstrators broke in. Suddenly I was in the middle of a riot. I was startled; then I was afraid; then I prayed, “God help me.” 

Living at home with no prospects for the future, I was constantly reminded of past failures. My life seemed narrow and hopeless, and I blamed my problems on others. How could I find purpose in my life?

Millions of people suffer from pain every day and wonder how to get rid of it. All kinds of methods offering relief are pursued—drugs, physical therapy, massage, meditation techniques, and more. However, there’s one approach that is often overlooked, yet can be the most effective. As Christian Science explains, prayer can take pain away. 

I wanted to heal like Jesus, but I was unwilling to surrender all of the material attractions I enjoyed. I rarely was willing to put my active schedule aside and quietly listen for God’s guidance. Then I had a wake-up call.
