I was in love. But there was a problem. Three other guys also liked this girl, and she couldn’t seem to make up her mind among us. She was overwhelmed by all the attention. I was in agony. How could I get her to like me more?

As I thought about my sad situation one evening, it occurred to me that I could pray about it. I’d grown up going to Christian Science Sunday School, where I’d learned how to pray—though mostly, up to this point, my parents or a Christian Science practitioner had prayed on my behalf. This time, I figured I should try praying on my own…

The Christian Science Journal published an article this month by Jan Kassahn Keeler titled, God’s provision and launching out “into the deep”:

Simon, James, and John were fishing partners who had worked all night without success. Despite their skill and effort, they caught nothing. When Jesus instructed them to “launch out into the deep,” they obeyed—and their nets became so full of fish they nearly broke. This biblical account illustrates a fundamental truth: spiritual understanding transforms circumstances that human effort alone cannot resolve.

All good, all substance, is from God, who is infinite Mind. God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Supply is actually God’s thoughts and ideas. These cannot be blocked, restricted, or depressed.

I have several go-to statements from my study of Christian Science, one of which has been a beacon and a rock with its assurance and expectation of God’s, divine Love’s, deliverance: “Remember, thou canst be brought into no condition, be it ever so severe, where Love has not been before thee and where its tender lesson is not awaiting thee” (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, pp. 149–150).

This statement by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, is universally applicable—to anyone in any situation—and it echoes the beloved twenty-third Psalm, which says, “I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” (verse 4)…
