1. Daniel Prayed 3x/day Daniel prayed three times a day in spite of knowing he would likely be thrown into the Lion's Den for doing so. [Daniel 6:10] 2. Mary Baker Eddy Prayed 3x/day In response to an article in the Zion's Herald of March 18, 1885 stating that Mary Baker Eddy was 'prayerless', she responded as follows: Three times a day, I retire to seek the divine blessing on the sick and sorrowing, with my face toward the Jerusalem of Love and Truth, in silent prayer to the Father which 'seeth in secret,' and with childlike confidence that He will reward 'openly.' In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest. It affords me great joy to be able to attest to the truth of Jesus' words. Love makes all burdens light, it giveth a peace that passeth understanding, and with 'signs following.' As to the peace, it is unutterable; as to 'signs,' behold the sick who are healed, the sorrowful who are made hopeful, and the sinful and ignorant who have become 'wise unto salvation'! [Misc Writings, Chpt 5, pg 133 - Mary Baker Eddy] 3. Mary Baker Eddy Prayed 12x/day MBE stopped a dozen times a day to do a reality check to make sure she was not thinking anything other than perfection about everyone, every thing, all the time. ~ See #5 Secret to Healing 4. Theme of the Day It is helpful to have a theme for the day that one refers to consistently throughout the day - The thought for the day is a suggestion for you to consider to use. OR please think of your own thought for the day. 5. Secret to Healing ~ Article by Mary Baker Eddy I have learned a great secret. I have learned how to demonstrate, I have learned how to make Science a thing of life, not of words. I am going to tell you what the secret is, and it is wonderful. It is this: Not to see or hear or repeat any kind of imperfection. It is seeing and hearing and repeating good only, at all times and under all circumstances, and in spite of everything that appears to the contrary. I make this resolve every morning, when I first open my eyes, and I renew it every hour of the day. I see perfection in myself in my friends, in my so-called enemy, in my affairs and in world affairs. I take my radical stand for the perfection of God and everything and for everything and everybody He has created. I look upon the world with God's eyes and see it just as He sees it, and I refuse to see it in any other way. I stop a dozen times a day, and renew the resolve, and make sure that I am not repeating error or giving way to criticism. I watch my thoughts about people, the lame, the old, the unloved to sense that I pass in the street, stray animals, I except nothing. I have taken my radical stand for perfection and I will not, absolutely will not, relax this perfect standard. The result has been simply marvelous. Try it and you will find that you forget your glasses; they will become unnecessary. You will be seeing with God's eyes, His perfect sight, and you will behold a perfect universe, the outward condition of your inward thinking. To change the picture you must change the sight that produced the picture. 6. Purpose of the day Choose a Specific Purpose of focus for the day.
