A healing to share

Avantika, fifth grade, Haryana, India

Since I was a year old, I have been attending the Christian Science Sunday School. In Sunday School I learned the Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments from the Bible, “the scientific statement of being” from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (see p. 468), and also the seven synonyms for God in Science and Health (see p. 115). Whatever I have learned from the Sunday School, I always apply in my home and school, and I have had many healings. I am going to tell you about one.

When I came back from school one day, I had some stomach pain and a fever. I called a Christian Science practitioner, who was also my Sunday School teacher. My parents are OK with me calling him for help.

One of the things we talked about was a truth from Science and Health: “Mind regulates the condition of the stomach, bowels, and food, the temperature of children and of men, and matter does not” (p. 413). I knew that Mind is one of the synonyms for God. I prayed with these ideas and thought about them. Then my fever was soon gone, but I was not yet completely healed of my stomachache. I told this to the practitioner.
