Healing of recurring stomach pains

Bruce Burnworth

Over a period of three weeks late last year, I was having severe pains in my stomach, to the point that I spent entire nights moaning. Sometimes I was unable to sleep at all during the night.

I had learned to pray about all kinds of problems, including illness and pain. So that's what I tried to do. During these bouts of pain, I also read the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and articles in the Christian Science magazines. When I was unable to focus on reading, I listened to helpful talks on the website spirituality.com. I also found the audio version of the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson at the website csherald.com. Sometimes I would turn the audio on "continuous play" and listen to the Lesson all night. The prayer and study helped bring me some mental peace, but the stomach pain persisted.

Feeling desperate one night, I called a Christian Science practitioner to help me through prayer. I woke her up with my phone call, but she kindly and confidently said she would pray for me immediately. She asked me to call back in half an hour.
