Daily Watch for the week of December 22nd – December 29th, 2019

From 500 Watching Points by Gilbert Carpenter

102 — WATCH that you turn every untoward circumstance and experience to your spiritual advantage. Mrs. Eddy instructed her students to declare, when they were attacked by error, “I am the better for this experience; it is doing me good, lifting me higher, and strengthening my understanding.”

Once when she experienced something on her drive that shocked her, she said, “Know that a shock only makes us to go higher. Now let us know when mortal mind shocks us, we can use it to go up higher, and so know it cannot catch us there.”

To The Watchers

from Watches, Prayers, and Arguments, as given by Mary Baker Eddy, page 49

“Hear, O Israel, for the Lord, our God, is one God.”
You are not to come in your own name to pray.
You are not to control any mind.
You are to come only in the divine strength, and know that God will rule and does, and that hypnotism and evil minds cannot, and do not, control men or governments.
All power is God, good.
This is my only formula to Christian Scientists for prayer, and God will give you faith that will remove mountains.
