Biblical healing today, prayer for politics, the climate generation, spiritual resources for you

Hand with feather

I ask in prayer how I should vote—which candidate is best?
The answer puzzles me at first—the question not addressed:
Acknowledge God, His reign of love, as adequate indeed!
It breaks the spell of dissonance and peace is guaranteed.
My prayer must go much higher than the ballot, now I see.
To cast my vote, I cast my care on God, expectantly.

(poem “To vote” from Nov 3, 2024 Christian Science Sentinel by Carol Dismore)

Sentinel Watch  podcast

This book healed me: Leaving it all to God

Can we trust God with anything? Everything? What does the Bible say? This week, in continuation of our series, we speak to three guests who, from reading the Bible, have learned important lessons about turning to God and leaving it all to Him.

Join us via Zoom to listen to this week’s Sentinel Watch program  

(This program references the Sentinel articles of April 29, 2016 Trusting in God and caring for our children 
and of April 1, 2024  God really does run the universe.)
 
(NOTE: The current and past Sentinel Watch programs are always available online.)
     
This week’s  Christian Science Sentinel print edition explains finding our confidence spiritually, allowing God to enrich man’s affections,  finding our spiritual home within, and overcoming storms–both political and weather storms, and includes testimonies of recent spiritual healing.  (All articles are available in audio format.)
 
United in prayer,  before and after the vote


As the world awaits the results of elections in the United States, this “year of elections”—in which half the world’s population has had the opportunity to participate in one or more significant elections—slowly draws to a close. Here are some articles and podcasts that can help us heal our own fears and be healers as we view and pray about local and global political developments.

There are Reading Rooms in the DC metropolitan area (and around the world) where you can discuss the ideas in these articles and share your questions 

Visit our website to find quick links to more information.
