The Art Of Prayer

Are the spiritual ideas useful in everyday life? The spiritual ideas or truths are eternal and so practical in applying them daily. As we have desire to grow spiritually or demonstrate the power of Spirit over the matter in our everyday activities, the ideas and truths revealed themselves in the Bible and in the healing book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures". by Mary Baker Eddy, find their own way toward our freedom from any disorders. Joyously accepting and obeying those principles in our heart and mind helps our human beliefs and knowledge yield to the supreme all-knowing Mind. And focusing our consciousness on those spiritual truths and recognizing them as the only true ones which we should follow and hold on steadfastly in our everyday life liberates our mind and consequently body too from any disharmony.

We feel joy and happiness when we realize clearly that the divine truths described in the Bible are so pure and powerful that they cannot be belittled or diluted by any human educated knowledge, dogma, theories or traditions. Only by acknowledging in our hearts the moral and ethical laws we enable to regain health and
harmony as it was during Jesus Christ’s time and we are able to prove for ourselves the practicality of this Christian Science method of prayer.
