"When man is governed by God, the ever-present Mind who understands all things, man knows that with God all things are possible."

- Science & Health, with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 180

This statement gives the qualifier, "man governed by God," to demonstrate Jesus' words, "all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23). What does it mean to be "governed by God"? For starters, this would include turning one's life and activities over to God and knowing that He governs them, knowing that God is all-powerful and always in control. We can't be outside of His control, we can't be affected by unpredictable events. Yielding to God and His harmonious government of our lives keeps us safe from disease and disaster.
