Testimony of Healing January 28, 2013 Issue

Safe on the freeway

Barbara Esslinger

A recent Sentinel issue, “Proof that God exists” (October 1, 2012) reminded me of a wonderful, touching healing several years ago that showed me that God and His angels exist. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy describes angels as “God’s thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions …” (p. 581).

This proved to be the case many years ago one snowy morning on my way to work. All of a sudden my SUV started traveling at increasing speeds due to the accelerator pedal moving away from my foot on its own toward the floor. Not even applying the brake with both feet could stop the vehicle. As I was traveling in the outer lane on the freeway, my immediate concern was to not cause harm or an accident to other cars during the morning rush hour. At this time, cellphones were not prevalent, so I did not have a way to contact anyone for help. 

I really did not know what to do, as all of this was occurring very fast, and cars were blowing their horns. As I was raised in Christian Science, I had always believed and understood that God exists, and I’d had many proofs of healing through the years. So it was natural for me to turn to God, in spite of the alarming picture and panic that was trying to take over. There was no time for that. I simply said: “Father, I love You and trust You. Show me what to do!” In a matter of seconds, I heard God’s angel messages telling me exactly what to do in a series of practical steps.
