Christian Science: Doctrine of ‘Prayer’

    ‘Prayer can neither change God, nor bind his designs into mortal modes – I have no objection to audible prayer of the right kind; but inaudible is more effectual.’
    No and Yes, pp. 39,40
    ‘If prayer nourishes the belief that sin is canceled, and that man is made better by merely praying, prayer is an evil. He grows worse who continues in sin because he fancies himself forgiven.’
    Science and Health, p. 4
    ‘Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates’
    Science and Health, p.4
    ‘The danger of prayer is that it may lead us into temptation’
    Science and Health, p. 7
    ‘The mere habit of pleading with the divine Mind, as one pleads with a human being, perpetuates the belief in God as humanly circumscribed, – an error which impedes spiritual growth’
    Science and Health, p.2
