Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

Chapter 1: Prayer

     For verily I say unto you,
     That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,
     Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
     and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
     those things which he saith shall come to pass;
     he shall have whatsoever he saith.
     Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire
     when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
     and ye shall have them.

     Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
     before ye ask Him.--Christ Jesus.

   1      The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the
     sick is an absolute faith that all things are
   3  possible to God,--a spiritual understanding of Him,
     an unselfed love. Regardless of what another may say
     or think on this subject, I speak from experience.
   6  Prayer, watching, and working, combined with self-im-
     molation, are God's gracious means for accomplishing
     whatever has been successfully done for the Christian-
   9  ization and health of mankind.
         Thoughts unspoken are not unknown to the divine
     Mind. Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur from
  12  trusting God with our desires, that they may be
     moulded and exalted before they take form in words
     and in deeds.
