Using the "No!" prayer

After attending the lecture "Texting God: Effective Short Prayers", I mentioned to my husband last night how much I'm enjoying using the effective short "no" prayer. He replied, "Yeah, I used it successfully this morning to stop a headache in its tracks." :-) He asked me to let you know.

Today, I was enjoying finding effective short prayers in the Christian Science Bible Lesson and then went to the Christian Science Monitor to use them. My heart wrenched when I read about the flood victims in Pakistan -- the problems seem so big and so longstanding. Then I remembered, "Trust thou in the Lord; he is their help and their shield" (Psalm 115:9) and was filled with such a sense of God's allness and love that I realized that God is on the case and they will find solutions for every problem they are facing.
