Finding Hope in God

The Bible says, “hope thou in God.” (Ps. 42) When life gets really tough and we feel there is no hope, the only sure answer is to remember this promise from God, and ask for His help. I know it works.

In the decades before coming to Plainfield, my life became increasingly negative, godless, and less and less worth living. As time went on, I found myself starting to dream of a time where life could be better, although I had no idea how that could ever happen. This made me more frustrated by the day, until I could no longer even pretend to hope for more.

It wasn’t until I reached bottom and finally asked God for His help that things started to change. It was then that I found the Plainfield Church and began working with a practitioner here. I am very grateful that God heard me — and I know He heard me because of how quickly my life changed, and how it keeps changing for the better. It is clear now to me that if I keep building with the bricks that God gives me, the structure of my life will continue to grow into something I never could have even dreamed of before.

Because of this, I’ve begun to have an excited expectation about Life. I’m finding a purpose in life, a joy, an inspiration, which I never thought possible. It has helped me to see how practical Christian Science is, how important this mission of bringing this genuine Christian Science to all mankind is, and how certain it is that all real needs will be met by it! And this wonderful way of life is available to everyone — “hope thou in God.”
