Living consistently with our prayer.

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 test of all prayer lies in the answer to these questions: Do we love our neighbor better because of this asking? Do we pursue the old selfishness, satisfied with having prayed for something better, though we give no evidence of the sincerity of our requests by living consistently with our prayer? Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 9

    This week I used the above citation from our weekly Lesson to “test” my prayer. I realized I needed to pay more attention to what I was praying so that I could also follow it by “living consistently” with it. Am I asking God to help me love and then demonstrating love in all I do? Am I praying for peace and then watching my thought and actions for that which would rob my peace? Am I affirming my right to confidence but then entertaining fearful thinking? Keeping the window of thought clean of so I can demonstrate this Science of Christ. I am very grateful for Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and the Plainfield church which teach and push us to live prayer in thought and deed.
