The testimonies of healing are the first items I read when my periodicals arrive, I always receive so much inspiration from them that I am impelled to send an expression of my own praise and gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. The second verse of Psalm 40 describes my experience exactly, "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings." While reading the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was healed of smoking and social drinking, and I stopped using drugs.

More recently I have been healed of an alarming physical condition. One evening I experienced a painful sensation in my abdomen. I got up, went to my room, and started to declare God's presence and power. When the pain became more intense and it was almost impossible for me to think, I asked my husband to call a friend who is a practitioner. When she was on the line I was able to speak to her. I did not say what was wrong, but I asked her to please talk to me of God and of Christ.

She immediately sensed the error and told me that I was actually inseparable from God, Life, and that nothing could touch my true, spiritual selfhood. All through the period of pain, when I could not hear her, she kept right on talking; and when I again heard her voice, she was declaring my indestructible being as God's child. Then the pain subsided. This took about twenty minutes. Although I had the feeling I was going to pass on, I held to the thought that I lived only in God; and I realized that there was no place outside His infinitude for me to go. It was due to the absolute convictions of the practitioner that the condition yielded.
