  1. How wonderful to be reminded this morning that I am indeed being guided and led “along the path of everlasting life” by divine Love, perfect Mind.
    Much gratitude and thanks to you.

  2. Dear Evan,

    The daily inspiration you share so lovingly is very helpful to me and often right on target. Always look forward to them. Thanks for thinking of the world this way.

  3. When faced with thoughts coming from so many directions we need a clearing house. A quiet time focused on listening to what God has to say, then follow the very simple direction as Life brings order.

  4. “Create in me a clean heart. O Lord, and renew a right spirit within me.” This a daily prayer/request that I have. And as the Daily Prayer says, “rule out of me all sin: (Manual page 41), I include criticism, resentment, doubt, worry, fear, discouragement, impatience.” How deeply grateful I am for Christian Science that gives us guidance in every situation we may face. And thanks, Evan, for all your inspired sharing’s.

  5. Thanks Evan!

    Working recently with disappointment for something that seems so obviously to be a right idea, that would bless all involved, yet apparently isn’t going to happen. It’s easy to blame others’ human will; but I have to trust that God keeps me in my right place, and work on letting go of my belief of what that is. Even though what I think should happen is shared by most others involved! But, God is in control, and I know that means S/He has prepared a better place for me. I just have to do my work, and be ready.

  6. Evan, thank you for always giving us a wonderful start to our day with your spiritual insight. Lorie and Ellen thank you for your comments. So blessed to have Christian Science and this blog.

  7. I like the phrase “point out anything in me that offends you” (that is offensive to God). A good idea to ponder, instead of dwelling on my own offended feelings.

  8. Right now I am going through a terrible phase of mortal life which has to be overcome. In order to be qualified to receive Medicaid, I have to give up my whole Identity and inner Soul and that’s just unexecptable. Matter can’t help me. A false identity can’t help me. Only God can Unclasped this horror,

    1. Dear Tobias, God’s Love does not stop at a hospital door or at medicaid. Love is ‘at once the center and the circumference of (your) being’. (see Science and Health, p. 203: 32-1). His Love will be with you wherever you go. I also love Psalm 139:8 ‘If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.’ You cannot leave His loving, strenghthening presence.
      His angel-thoughts are always, always with you.
