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!

    MARK 11:24 Jesus: “I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” In the first chapter of Science and Health Mrs.Eddy says, “the prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,… Prayer, watching, and working, combined with self-immolation, are God’s gracious means for accomplishing whatever has been successfully done for the Christianization and health of mankind….The mere habit of pleading with the divine Mind, as one pleads with a human being, perpetuates the belief in God as humanly circumscribed, –an error that impedes spiritual growth.”

    I find it very helpful to study and contemplate what they are saying, including the need for “self-immolation” in learning to pray more effectively.
