Back pain and warts disappear

Kerry Flatley

I am always grateful to be healed or to witness a healing through Christian Science. But my love for this Science grows even deeper when a healing occurs that simply cannot be explained away through conventional wisdom or science. Over the past couple of years, I’ve experienced two of these healings.

The first occurred after I pulled something in my lower back. Standing in a crowded lobby at my daughter’s ballet class, I bent over to pick up my two-year-old, and on the way up I felt a strange sensation in my back. I didn’t think much of it until I woke up the next morning in pain. The pain increased over the day, and when I awoke the following morning, I could find comfort only by lying completely still for a few minutes. It seemed that any movement, even standing, was painful—not a good situation for a mother of two young kids! Additionally, my husband was about to leave for an overnight work trip, which meant I would have to take care of our two young girls alone.

A few months prior, through prayer and study, I had reached a deeper understanding of myself as a completely immortal and spiritual being, governed by God. I knew I needed to claim these truths in this situation despite the fact that the pain in my back was screaming at me to believe the opposite. I also had to handle the fear that the pain in my back could be either chronic or permanent. I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help.
