“I was so grateful for the quiet, spiritual state of being that completely changed my experience from sickness to the beautiful sweetness of divine presence.”
Overwhelmed with the responsibilities of caring for a family in need, this man woke with symptoms of illness. Read how his heartfelt prayer of mental stillness enabled him to hear God’s voice, lifting the sense of burden and healing him.
"Be still, and know that I am God: ..."
Psalms 46:10
"In order to pray aright, we must enter into the closet and shut the door. We must close the lips and silence the material senses."
Mary Baker Eddy

"To the burdened and weary, Jesus saith: “Come unto me.” O glorious hope! there remaineth a rest for the righteous, a rest in Christ, a peace in Love. The thought of it stills complaint; the heaving surf of life's troubled sea foams itself away, and underneath is a deep-settled calm."
Mary Baker Eddy
