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!

I have been working on a situation that did not seem to be going anywhere. It felt like I had hit bottom and it would never get resolved. We spoke at the Roundtable on Sunday August 27, 2017 that we need to learn patience. This was something I needed to learn.

Speaking with a Plainfield practitioner, she gave me this statement from this week’s Golden Text, “It is God that girded me with strength” and I was told to put the situation in God’s hands.

Every time I thought about this situation I knew God was my strength, God was in control and governing. Getting myself out of the way, answers came and now the problem is yielding with practitioner help. Progress is being made and the situation is being resolved with God’s will being done, not my will.

I am very grateful for the Lessons, Roundtable discussions and practitioner help.
