In arithmetic, we take an impersonal view about how the problem got there. Just as we solve problems in arithmetic, we likewise need to solve our other problems from an impersonal basis.
Numbers are invisible to us, yet we still believe in them, and reliably turn to their scientific Principle, which governs them. Similarly, it is just as natural to believe in the invisible God, and utilize the ever available presence and power of that scientific divine Principle, which quietly governs in absolutely every situation.
Are you letting your problems or difficult people bully you into accepting something that God never made true? Can you focus instead entirely on loving what God did make and let that dominate your thinking?
In mathematics, you don’t get to the answer without utilizing numbers, and in life, I’ve found that problems get solved by applying scientific ideas about God as the flawless Creator. This works out anything, by bringing to bear a perfect, precise Principle, and the answer becomes clear.
Now it is the problem that is invisible.
