Our\u00a0guest this week doesn\u2019t remember much about the Sunday when she became unconscious at church. But her fellow church members remember it very clearly\u2014along with the healing that resulted.\u00a0Hear the full story.

And while it might sound surprising, she knew the help she needed could be found \u2026 in a book. Listen to what happened.

I ask in prayer how I should vote\u2014which candidate is best?
\nThe answer puzzles me at first\u2014the question not addressed:
\nAcknowledge God, His reign of love, as adequate indeed!
\nIt breaks the spell of dissonance and peace is guaranteed.
\nMy prayer must go much higher than the ballot, now I see.
\nTo cast my vote, I cast my care on God, expectantly.

The editorial in this week’s \u00a0Christian Science Sentinel\u00a0print edition explains how\u00a0Truth is ever in operation, without pause, just as the laws of mathematics operate effortlessly, unchallenged. Other articles share that one can\u00a0persist and endure all things\u00a0because of this ever operational Truth, which we apply to our lives as we\u00a0identify only as God’s image.\u00a0

How can we lower the temperature of the political climate?
\n
\n
\n

2024 is a historic election year, with elections in fifty countries and over two billion voters projected to head to the polls in, for instance, the United States, India, Mexico, and South Africa. This week\u2019s guest talks about how we can actively\u2014and prayerfully\u2014participate in good government and orderly, smooth elections both before and after we enter the voting booth.

\n

Can prayer truly influence today’s polarized political atmosphere?
