Prayer for Missing Child

I am grateful for Christian Science and everything that this church represents and teaches through all our activities and the faithfulness of our practitioners. Mary Baker Eddy devotedly listened to God and followed Christ and the Bible.

When she was directed to write SH with Key to the Scriptures, Prayer became the first chapter. Christian Science prayer is effective when it is done with faith, patience and understanding.

Recently when a young girl went missing a few of us prayed about this situation, as we have done in the past, knowing that every child is in their rightful place and God controls that child and place. No one is out of place or missing in God’s kingdom. No child is confused or can be attracted to anything but good because there is only One Mind active and operating. This young lady said she was going to visit a coffee shop but was seen on a surveillance camera at a railroad station. Several weeks went by, but this did not change the law of God’s presence and the control of all His ideas eternally. We got word the other day that she has been found and is safely home. The prayer continues that she can only have the mind of Christ and that mind is clear with understanding that she is a “gentle beam” of infinite Love surrounded and protected, always. “He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom” (Isa 40:11)
