Dear friends,

This whole lesson is structured around Psalms 91 and Psalms 23. It has every single verse in these Psalms in it. I am going to be giving you blank study sheets for your own deeper study. It is a way of taking notes as you do your own research. Both of these Psalms are incredibly inspiring and important. Ones to study all our lives.

Look up the words and symbols in them. Find out what Mrs. Eddy writes about them. Look in JSH online for articles on them, etc. Study until your sense of them has lifted and you are able to use them in your experience.
