All A Christian Science Perspective
- The life that is eternal
An expanded understanding of life as forever sustained by God comforts, heals, and uplifts.
- Home and refuge in God
Considering what it means that we “dwell in the house of the Lord for ever,” as the 23rd Psalm puts it, is an empowering starting point in facing challenges – as a family experienced after losing their home and possessions in a fire.
- Always meaningfully employed
Recognizing that God cares for and values all of His children opens the way for opportunities to experience divine goodness more tangibly, as a woman found during a job search.
- Prayer takes the fear out of school exams
Each of us has a God-given ability to express intelligence, focus, calm, and integrity even in situations that seem intimidating, as a student experienced when it was time to take a high-stakes national exam.
- La prière élimine la peur des examens scolaires
Alors qu’il devait passer un examen national important, l’auteur a démontré que chacun de nous a la capacité, conférée par Dieu, d’exprimer l’intelligence, la concentration, le calme et l’intégrité, même dans des situations qui semblent intimidantes.
- ‘I’m not going there’
As we come to recognize that we are all children of God, who is infinitely good, we more naturally avoid making troublesome mistakes in our interactions with others, and love, goodwill, and patient understanding increasingly become the norm.
- A higher sense of manhood
There is much discussion on what constitutes true manhood. Beyond what we may view as traditional and nontraditional roles is a higher understanding, which includes all men, women, and children – an understanding that reveals everyone’s selfhood as an expression of God, good.
- Responding to God’s guidance
When a difficulty arises, turning to God in prayer is an empowering first step. And as a man discovered after becoming ill, heartfelt receptivity to the divine inspiration we seek has tangible healing effect.
- ‘All tears will be wiped away’
In every hour, the light of God is here to deepen our understanding of love and life, which lifts grief and restores joy.
- Prayer and safety in our communities
A heartfelt desire to see our neighborhoods from a holier, spiritual perspective opens our eyes to ways to help keep them safe – as a woman experienced when a prayer-inspired intuition led her to discover a loaded gun while out for a walk.
- ‘Life is not lost’
Qualities such as selflessness, honor, and courageous love for others can never truly be destroyed, because we can never be separated from God, the divine Life that eternally upholds in everyone all that is good.
- Whale song
When the way forward seems unclear, if we’re willing to dive beneath the surface and consider a new, spiritual view of things, fresh inspiration and solutions come to light.
- Can you live without anxiety?
At times it can seem as if worry and anxiety are just things we have to live with. But as this short podcast explores, we are divinely empowered to go beyond simply coping and to find healing and freedom.
- God’s gift of grace
Nobody is ever beyond the reach of God’s healing, saving grace, as a young student experienced after being attacked by a group of bullies for race-based reasons.
- Active, healing peacemaking
Our ability to be peacemakers comes from turning to God, the source of peace, and letting divine Love guide our footsteps toward practical solutions. This God-given peace begins within each heart, overflows to the world, and is lasting and all-inclusive.
- The promise of ‘a bright tomorrow’
Even in the face of difficulties, God’s love is a constant – here to heal, protect, and save – as this hymn highlights.
- Rejoicing in our perfect place
Struggling to land a position in a competitive job market, a woman turned to God for inspiration. The realization that we have an eternal purpose and place as God’s loved children changed her outlook on the situation – which ultimately culminated in a job that was a perfect fit.
- Empowered to not indulge in anger
The pull of anger can seem irresistible at times. But recognizing that we are created by God to express patience, kindness, and wisdom – rather than reactiveness or frustration – dissolves anger and opens the way to resolution.
- The zeal that heals
When we let the light of Christ, rather than a personal agenda, animate our thoughts and actions, we and others are benefited.
- Defusing hate. Living love.
When hate crimes or other animosity-fueled tragedies occur, it may seem that hatred is more powerful than love. But have you ever thought about Love as a law?
