This article, Needs Met, is by Mary who is a member of the Christian Science Church in Canberra. She describes how a change of thinking to a more spiritual perspective saw finance problems solved and employment found.
We lived in Germany for almost a year and during this time neither my husband or I was allowed to work there because we did not have the necessary permission. Our funds had been used up on rent and living expenses. Three of our six children were apprentices and the other three were at school. Things were very tight and our need was great.
One morning my husband asked me to look for a document in a cupboard where we kept all our paper work. I was not looking forward to this task because there was so much paper in this cupboard. Then the thought struck me that there must be a reason for this, and who knows perhaps I will find something else in the cupboard. This was time to put into practice what I have learnt in Christian Science.
My thought turned to a passage in Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy (p180: 25): “When man is governed by God, the ever-present Mind who understands all things, man knows that with God all things are possible”. This made me sit back and take notice. Here I was resenting the thought that I had to unpack the cupboard I kept the thought that “with God all things are possible” while I unpacked the cupboard. Suddenly, there was my wallet which I had not used since flying to Germany. I opened the back flap, and to my delight I found A$2000 of travellers’ cheques. I could not stop thanking God for His guidance and love for his children. I also found the document my husband was looking for.
The same afternoon I went to the bank to change the cheques and we could pay our rent and buy what we needed for the rest of the month.
Within two weeks both my husband and I found work and got our permissions to work in Germany.
How grateful I am for Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy for giving us this practical and demonstrable religion.

Sometimes the extreme needs of people in war-torn or devastated areas bring forth unique solutions and amazing kindnesses. Some wonderful examples are in the Monitor editorial “Unsung heroes who rescue Syria’s refugees” (CSMonitor.com). …
Letting Love direct us, we discover a wonderful freedom from the opinion that there isn’t enough money, time, or talent to do anything meaningful to solve problems. We may find that much can be accomplished with surprisingly few material resources as we begin to understand that God, Spirit, is the source of unlimited spiritual good. The more we love, the more conscious we are of God, divine Love, leading the way, opening up new avenues for good. Merciful, unselfish love derived from God takes away fear, or the belief that our supply is dependent on how many or how few material things we have. … Read more …

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
