Consistent prayer is the desire to do right.

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!

    “… Consistent prayer is the desire to do right. Prayer means that we desire to walk and will walk in the light so far as we receive it, even though with bleeding footsteps, and that waiting patiently on the Lord, we will leave our real desires to be rewarded by Him.” Science and Health, page 9

    Since attending Plainfield church I have learned that prayer must have action not just repeating words after all the scribes and pharisees were full of prayers. We are blessed to have Mrs. Eddy chapter “Prayer” which she placed first in Science and Health.(click on words to read and listen). We are taught here the importance of walking the walk for our prayers to be effective, to back up one’s talk with action. This lesson was a good reminder to check that this is what we are doing.

    “And the king (Josiah) went up into the house of the Lord, … and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord. And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.” I Chronicles 34
