“…if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.”

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!

    This quote makes me think right now how many times I have prayed for something, but inside of me I keep admitting that the error is real, that “it is there” what I am praying about, I keep thinking it is ‘something’, a thing, I keep granting it entity, well, not “me”, but the animal magnetism through me. That is not “ask any thing according to His Will”, rather it is asking for something according to “my” mortal will, not God’s, and, consequently, it seems that He does not hear me, but in fact it is me who does not hear Him. Praying in this way lacks spiritual understanding and of course it stops the power of prayer and the “false effect” remains visible untouched in its cause. It is like a self-sabotage of prayer. Now I see that this is particularly applicable to so-called chronic ills, which persist, falsely evidencing themselves in my consciousness. Now, when I pray about something, especially that which has not “yielded” to prayer, I ask myself, AM I REALLY CONVINCED that this is not real, that it is mental, and that all Cause is in God and therefore all effect as well? I am asking something truly according to His Will? Thanks to the Christ for this understanding. And thanks to the writer for this inspired lesson and to Plainfield church, you are amazing, guys! And very grateful for the beloved practitioners!
