A friend sent me this poem. It’s filled with spiritual mindedness. I thought you might enjoy it.
My Prayer in Christian Science
To be ever conscious of my unity with God,
to listen for His voice, and hear no other call.
To separate all error from my thought of man,
and see him only as my Father’s image,
to show him reverence, and share with him my holiest treasures.
To keep my mental home a sacred place, golden with gratitude,
redolent with love, white with purity, cleansed from the flesh.
To send no thought into the world that will not bless, or cheer, or purify, or heal.
To have no aim but to make earth a fairer, holier place, and to rise each day into a higher sense of Life and Love.
M.E.W.
Christian Science Sentinel, June 27, 1903
Evan, I thank you for sharing this precious prayer! It certainly touches all the areas that we so often address in prayer. It was a treat to read it in your blog!
Gratefully,
MarySue Harris
I think I will print this out and keep it on my desk – maybe a copy in my car too!!
Just beautiful in its simplicity as it covers all areas of thought and action. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you dear, M.E.W. from 1903! “To send no thought into the world that will not bless, or cheer, or purify, or heal.” Amen! Yes, this is one for printing out. Thank you for sharing.
What a treasured resolution for this new year! Thank you for sharing. Let’s do it!
Hi Evan
That surely covers it all. thank you.

Love it! Especially “To send no thought into the world that will not bless, or cheer, or purify, or heal.” Wow! That’s going to be my goal this year. Thanks so much for this blog Evan. (=
Absolutely lovely! A treasure!
This is a 24 hour a day consciousness, not stale but renewal, the perfect defence against mortal errors. “Good thoughts are an impervious armor… and all whom your thoughts rest upon are thereby benefited.” A win-win.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece. What a great help to support my resolution/desire to more faithfully put into practice what I’m learning in Christian Science.
This is a perfect “checklist” for daily goals, and also for constant prayer. Thank you for sharing this; I’m going to write it down and carry it with me as a constant reminder.
I loved the repeated use of the word “sacred”. So easy to lose that spiritual sense. So wonderful to find new ways to apply this adjective. Thanks, Evan.
Who is M.E.W. I’m not able to discern who this writer is. I thought it might be Martha Wilcox but her middle initial is W.
Sorry, I do not know. Maybe if you sourced the original article?
