The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

The next sentences in that citation is “Now, as then, these mighty works are not supernatural but supremely natural. They are a sign of Immanuel, or ‘God with us,’ – a divine influence ever present in human consciousness and repeating itself, coming now as was promised aforetime….” At one time, I had difficulty feeling the power and presence of God with me. I would work often with these statements, knowing God WAS with me and nothing could prevent me from feeling His Love and His presence. One thing that helped immeasurably was to be grateful – to be aware of all the good that would transpire during the day and to know the source was in God and to humbly thank Him for it. Gratitude instantly connects one with the Father. When we seek to know and feel God’s presence – we CAN know and feel God’s presence but it must be the great desire of one’s heart.
