My blessings have been so manifold...

Lydia M. Smith

My blessings have been so manifold since taking up the study of Christian Science that I wish to express my gratitude.

March of 1930 found me a wretched individual. I had been very ill for a number of months, and had had three physicians, who diagnosed the case as liver, gall, and bladder trouble. I was told I would be sick for a long time. I was subject to a very strict diet, and took medicine continually. It was impossible for me to walk one block without intense pain.

A dear friend asked me to try Christian Science, and took me to a practitioner. At this time, when everything seemed so upset and disturbed, the comforting thought that God is a loving Father, one to be trusted and sought in time of trouble, gave me calm trust and assurance. These words of our Master stood out predominantly: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Immediately I felt God's presence, the distressed thoughts of fear and self-pity left me, and I felt that peace "which passeth all understanding." My consciousness was lifted from the upsetting influence of mortal mind to the ever-presence of God's Christ-power. Infinite good revealed the perfection of God's will, changed the sense of discord to the consciousness of harmony. I became very grateful; it seemed as if a great weight had been lifted.
