MORNING PRAYER

 One of my favorite morning prayers comes from an article that was published in the early days of the Christian Science Journal (see note).

Part of it reads:  "This is God's spiritual household. Nothing can enter to annoy or destroy. Nothing can enter to manifest sin, sickness, or discouragement, for God, good, governs every member of this household in perfect peace and love. God does in every deed dwell on earth with men and governs every event. The unseen silent forces of God are standing sentinel over me and mine and all, silencing, destroying, and annihilating the unseen, silent arguments of the serpent, material sense."


NOTE: In 1884 the Christian Science Journal was established as a monthly magazine which has continued in publication without interruption. The articles are contributed for publication by Christian Scientists dedicated to living Christian Science, a religion whose members subscribe to the tenet of taking: "the inspired word of the Bible" as their sufficient guide to eternal life.  All of these Journal articles have been archived in bound volumes and are available to the public in Christian Science Reading Rooms located in 81 countries throughout the world.
