All A Christian Science Perspective
- Praise – in meekness!
Meekness may seem an unlikely quality to value. But as this poem conveys, humbly turning to God, infinite good, to impel what we say and do is actually a source of strength and progress.

Avoiding harshly blaming others not only keeps our peace from being taken from us but contributes to a more peaceful world.
- When I felt depressed during lockdown

- Vaccines, immunity, and the pathway to health
The realization that life is fundamentally in and of God, not material at all, opens the door to true and lasting health.
- ‘You have no power over me’
At times, evil – such as sickness, gloom, or animosity – can seem inevitable. But facing it from the standpoint of God’s nature as endlessly good equips us to disarm evil and experience more fully our God-given health, happiness, and peace.

It’s been an unconventional school year, to say the least. But regardless of circumstances, everyone has a God-given ability to cultivate creativity, intelligence, and joy.
- The recipe for healing
Healing through prayer no longer possible? Think again!
- Counteracting violence and hatred
Recent events have made one thing clear: There’s a ceaseless need for decency, respect, and pursuit of common good. As we let God inspire such qualities in us individually, we’re doing our part to elevate the collective consciousness that yearns for solutions to injustice and hate.

Even when inharmony seems to reign, we can let God, Love, light our path to unity, healing, and progress.

- Overcoming racism
Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States reminds us that we each have a role in healing every last vestige of racial inequality, and starting from a spiritual standpoint empowers each of us to do our part.
- God’s help is here
Sometimes it can feel as if we need to wait for the bad things to stop before we can experience the good. But we can trust in the biblical promise of God’s immediate help, right here and now.
- A ‘divine law career’
An avid student of political science, a young man was certain his future would include a law career and possibly public service. But the more he learned about Christian Science, the more he was drawn to practicing a different kind of law – God’s healing law of goodness.
- In need of mental self-care? Try prayer.
Taking care of our mental well-being is important. And as a working mom of three young children discovered, starting the day with prayer opens the door to divine inspiration, wisdom, and peace – no matter what the day has in store for us.
- Courage in the face of dissension
Even when disagreement turns hostile, God has given us the courage to stand up for our inherent unity as brothers and sisters in God – which paves the way for resolution and healing.

Sometimes we may feel lost and alone. But recognizing that God is always with us – as are the love and joy God imparts to all of us as God’s children – helps us find the way forward.
- A year crowned with goodness
“Crowned with goodness” may seem an unlikely descriptor of 2020 and the start of 2021. But the recognition that God imparts goodness to His children at every moment empowers us to feel and share God’s love, care, and peace more fully.
