God Has It All Under Control

People are often assailed by stress and pressure, and Christian Science was very helpful to me in showing me the right way to deal with these feelings and not let them overwhelm me.

Before coming to Plainfield, I would often feel like I had too many things to do, and too many people trying to pull me in different directions. After a while of this, I would shut right down, mentally and emotionally.

After coming here and beginning to learn about Christian Science, I began to understand two important things: First, God is my employer; second, I don’t need to shoulder burdens for Him, since He has it all under control.

Now I know that I only have God to both listen to and to please. If I start feeling like I have a lot to deal with, more than I can handle, I stop and work to realize that right this moment is all I have to be concerned with. In fact, often I write on a post-it note the word “Now” just to be sure I quit thinking about what needs to be done later.

What a blessing it is to know that I can give God my past, my future, and even this moment. The practical applications that Christian Science has are so wonderful and useful, and it has changed my entire life.
