Thank you all for these posts. I remember a time back in college when I was with a friend of mine who was having car trouble. A gentleman in the parking lot stopped briefly to offer help and quickly deemed the situation helpless (so to speak). My friend thanked him and let him know that God would help us, to which he replied “God has nothing to do with this” we both replied to him in unison “God has something to do with everything. Sure enough, it was only moments before we received the answer to what we needed to do, and in no time we were on our way!

This situation occurred toward the beginning of my study of Christian Science and I’m so glad that God eventually brought me to Plainfield to gain a better understanding. It’s here that I learned that God does have something to do with everything, to me this means that I am to keep my constant communication with Him, rather than turning to Him only in times of trouble. I’m learning to trust God’s will alone, in every single detail of my life, and to talk to Him about anything at any time even if it seems scary, embarrassing, hopeless, silly, etc..

Going to God is the most important step I’ve learned to take, it’s acknowledging His omnipresence and omnipotence, and I’m finding that this does most of the work necessary to receive (or realize) a blessing. My sincere willingness to follow His direction, whether it means, speaking up or remaining silent, moving forward or standing still, working something out mentally or taking the necessary human steps, with patience, gratitude, and humility, does the rest.

I’m realizing that “No loss can come from trusting God with our desires.” S&H 1:11
