Prayer That Gets Results

(Thinking about praying that reaches God and bears fruit, began jotting down thoughts which have resulted in the following. Herewith for whatever uplift it may give some reader. I can never be grateful enough for the teachings of Christian Science that point out--whatever we are praying about, for whomoever--the absolute need for Christlike love to be in our thoughts and our lives, to be what motivates our every action.)


"Selflessness Essential"


(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell



Hope I'm learning as I

go from day to day,

something more about praying,

how to do it in a better way.

Reaching out to God--

to benefit not me,

but to lift up thee,

seems to be the key.

To pray with self removed

(not entirely, truth to say),

the good of another sought;

praying that is done

out of Christlike love,

must this not connect

with power from Above--

our God being all Love?
