In Quietness and in Confidence

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!

    “For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. (Isaiah) I have always loved the feeling of peace this verse has given me but more and more I am beginning to understand how important this concept is. In today’s world it is so easy to be continually “plugged” in to some electronic device! How often do we actually spend in quietness which then brings about confidence in God’s ever presence and power? God is always speaking to us but it requires a stillness of being to hear this “still small voice” of Truth. Mrs. Eddy says in Collectanea, “Study to be quiet.” I once puzzled as to what this really means, but I now understand it does take effort to be quiet, to silence mortal mind and all it’s chatter. To quiet myself and to be still is so well worth the effort, for as Mrs. Eddy writes in her chapter on Prayer, “To enter into the heart of prayer, the door of the erring senses must be closed. Lips must be mute and materialism silent, that man (you!) may have audience with Spirit, the divine Principle of Love, which destroys all error.” (S&H page 15) How awesome is that?!
