Learning our God-given identity, losing panic attacks
This contributor was freed from panic attacks, as well as an addiction to the drug she was taking to manage them, as she learned more about how God knows her.
Is life really ruled by chance?

Can we feel safe when we worship?

Hope and healing for the environment

Finding balance: Look at the big picture
Overwhelmed and exhausted by personal and professional responsibilities, this mother yearned for a solution – and found that keeping one’s thought grounded in God helps maintain and restore order and balance.
Working through "the problem of evil"
Today’s article explores the idea that preventing violent attacks starts with redefining evil as a distortion of reality, and recognizing that everyone has God-derived rights of self-government, reason, and conscience.
About the Healing Perspectives
Each weekday, the Monitor includes one clearly labeled religious article offering spiritual insight on contemporary issues, including the news. The publication – in its various forms – is produced for anyone who cares about the progress of the human endeavor around the world and seeks news reported with compassion, intelligence, and an essentially constructive lens. For many, that caring has religious roots. For many, it does not. The Monitor has always embraced both audiences. The Monitor is owned by a church – The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston – whose founder was concerned with both the state of the world and the quality of available news.
