Peace After a Breakup
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
I’ve gone through different relationships in my life, and sometimes those transitions are easier or harder than others. I had one relationship in particular that ended, and it felt like there were a lot of unresolved feelings. I wasn’t really sure how to approach it, but like most things in my life, I wanted to pray and turn to God and see how that could bring some healing and some light to the situation.
So I was praying about this, but it seemed to be a consistent problem still in our interactions as friends after we had broken up, and I really wanted a sense of peace. Then I was talking with a church member who said this quote, and he shared it with me, and it’s, “Thou gentle beam of living Love.” It’s from the Christian Science hymnal from a hymn, 28, written by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.
And it was with those words, I felt this light just pour in, and this sense of God’s love, ever-present love, and that gentle beam that guides us and leads us to healing and leads us to healing answers.
And it felt like all of the confusion and frustration just melted away in that moment. And I actually kind of flashed to a moment that I had with this person, and it was such a joyous memory and such a happy memory that I had with them. And when I saw that and felt that, I knew that that was the truth about our relationship, and the fundamental fact of our interactions was this basis of joy and peace. And with that, I just felt everything else melt away, and going forward, I knew that our relationship was healed. And since then, our interactions have been really peaceful, and we’ve been able to be good friends.
This was just another healing example of ways that I can apply these truths that I’m learning, or these inspirations from fellow church members, or from my own study, and how this can bring uplift to situations and bring solutions. I’m grateful to have this really reliable sense of healing and feel like it leads to a lot of progress in all areas of my life.

More about healing
Learn how others have found peace after a breakup or other forms of healing through their study of Christian Science, which is based on God’s love for man and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Jesus showed God’s love for man by healing all kinds of sin and disease, inspiring us to live better lives, and teaching us how to understand God as Spirit and love the spiritual man of God’s creating. Christian Science helps us understand Jesus’ teachings. It shows us how to heal and has helped many find peace after a breakup and experience other kinds of healing.
This way of healing has worked for Christian Scientists over the past 150+ years, even when doctors said a condition couldn’t be cured. Christian Science healing is different from just believing or thinking positively, and it’s not the same as self-hypnosis. Our prayer is based on Christian faith, understanding of God, and the belief that nothing is impossible for Him.
Christian Scientists can choose the type of care that works best for them and their families. Many people who practice Christian Science live happy and healthy lives without using medicine or other material solutions.
