During the night about two years...

During the night about two years ago I was awakened by severe pain in my arm. By morning I became frightened at the evidence, recalling what I had heard in regard to the symptoms of blood poisoning.

I was led to turn to a copy of The Christian Science Journal and to read an article entitled "The Armor of Divinity." I read it through once and then again. The author quoted from the Bible (Eph. 6:13–17). The thirteenth verse reads, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

I read all of the verses, and by the time I had finished reading them for the second time, I had put on "the whole armour of God" or, in other words, I had recognized my perfect, spiritual selfhood as a child of God. I felt released from all fear, and the pain began to leave my arm. I was soon completely free.
