'Subscribing' to healing

Sonia Bull

At one time last year, I was very unwell with all the symptoms of the flu. I prayed with the idea that as a child of Spirit, God, I am created by God in His image and likeness (see Genesis 1:26, 27) and that I am always embraced in His love. I could know that dark thoughts of suffering were only lies about my true, spiritual identity. I read and deeply thought about my favorite passages from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, but the symptoms persisted. After three days of feeling miserable, I wondered why it was that I read of other people’s testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals, where they would pray and were soon healed, whereas my challenge was not yielding. 

I dragged myself from bed to a chair in the sitting room and thought about going to JSH-Online to listen to some audio chats, but my head was aching so badly that it did not seem to be an option. 

The postman came and dropped post through the letter box. I picked up the latest issue of the Christian Science Sentinel from among the mail and, despite the pain, thought I would try to read an article. The first one I came to was by Walter Rodgers, titled “Borderless community” (July 23, 2012).
