Illness healed during Wednesday evening meeting

One Wednesday evening I was not feeling well. However, I knew that going to the Wednesday night testimony meeting was something I wanted to do, even though I felt uncomfortable. I love church and didn’t want to miss out on this healing meeting.

Although it was good that I wanted to go to the service, and that I thought of it as a healing service, I wasn’t initially making the connection that the healing aspect of the service could apply to my own situation. When I arrived, I made sure to sit at the end of the aisle so that I could get up and leave without causing much of a distraction if I started to get ill during the meeting. But, wouldn’t you know it, right before the readings began, a dear friend came and sat down beside me. In my head I was thinking, “Yikes—I’m trapped!”

Thankfully, the next thought I had was the assurance that I was in a Church of Christ, Scientist, where everyone was praying, and that I would not need to leave. I also took a moment and reached for the Bible sitting in the pew rack in front of me. I flipped it open, and the first words I read were from Luke 13:12: “Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.”
