Truth Enters Consciousness

There are many provisions for growth, listening, learning and support just on the Plainfield Church website alone. These truths go into consciousness, often over time, and are not always immediately discernible; but changes do take place that we’re not always aware of.

Recently I realized I have been freed from a memory that had been haunting me for many years after the event. My young son hurt himself on his bike and we took him to the emergency room to get stitches, but I could not get rid of the upsetting image. This happened quite a few years ago, before I found the Plainfield Church. Since being at this church I have been slowly filling my thought with hymns, readings, citations from the Bible and Science and Health, learning how to stay focused on images that are healing and strengthening and getting practitioner help to release other memories by using instructions such as to give the past to God.

Working with a Plainfield practitioner, and seeing examples of what Science is capable of doing, has been helping me build my own faith. This then has helped me trust the promises in the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. Now I can look back and see all the good that took place.

One prayer I love to turn to from our website is an excerpt from “Day” in the Blue Book, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 159: “Just for today I will know that God is good, and that God is Love, and that He knoweth them that trust Him. ... Then with a sweet sense of God’s nearness, I will know that yesterday has gone, and left no bitterness, and that today is big with blessings, that tomorrow belongs to God; and to realize this today eliminates all worry and pain and trouble, and brings us peace and happiness.”
