Aug. 8-14: “Soul.”
Golden Text: “Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications:. . . for I lift up my soul unto thee.” (Psalms 143:1, 2)
This Bible Lesson dials right into the deep yearning to see and experience God’s great love and care for us all. It shows us how pure, uplifted desire — prayer — can lead us to the healing ever-presence of God, Divine Love.
“Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.” (Psalms 66: 16-20)
“Spiritual sense, contradicting the material senses, involves intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, reality.”
“Spiritual ideas lead up to their divine origin, God, and to the spiritual sense of being.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 298: 13-15, 22)
