Trusting God, regardless of the situation: new resources this week to support your prayers

Posted on by
Sunset over water

As God’s children, we all have the daily opportunity to step forward with a fuller trust that our divine Father-Mother, the source of all wisdom, directs and enables each of us to hear and follow His guidance, without constraint.         

(from this week’s  Christian Science Sentinel)

  Sentinel Watch     Where is God in scary situations?

When this week’s guest was faced with a frightening situation—a robbery in progress—he knew that turning to God in prayer could diffuse the situation. But how? Listen to find out.

  • How can prayer overcome paralyzing fear?
  • How does spiritual healing take place?
  • Can we trust God as a child trusts a parent?

Join us via Zoom to listen to this Sentinel Watch program

Tuesday, April 16

Please MUTE yourself during the program. (Press *6 to mute or unmute yourself.)

This program is complemented by online articles in theChristian Science Sentinel including this week’s editorial A foundation of trust.

The term trust deficit may be fairly new, but the concept of people losing faith in each other, institutions, and the government is certainly not. 

Love did not ask Jesus, and does not ask us, to give blanket trust to any person or human institution, though it does give us the wisdom and discernment to recognize when trust is warranted—or not. 

 Obedience to Love turns our trust toward our Father-Mother God, who is forever worthy of trust. 

Explore more online resources, including short inspirational sharing in the Daily Lift and past audio programs and articles, the current Bible 
lesson, or a directory of Christian Science practitioners who can help you through prayer. 
 
There areReading Rooms in the DC metropolitan area (and around theworld) where you can talk with someone in person about this program and the various articles. Or you can email us at jmrr.dc@gmail.com or call 240-935-8697 to discuss them further.  Visit our website to find quick links to many of these resources.
