The general practice of mankind is to pursue the course of least resistance, but not so in Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy makes this statement in Science and Health (p. 66): "Trials are proofs of God's care."In my experience it has been proven that trials force us to ascend the scale of spiritual thinking.

Many years ago a problem of respiratory infection was healed after many months when I learned that my need was to express more gratitude.

A more recent experience proved a point, again, when I suffered with a tenacious physical problem. The condition seemed very serious, and I spent much time searching for the cause and name of the malady. What a mistake that was, giving the symptoms validity instead of recognizing the condition as nothing but a lie! "It is mental quackery to make disease a reality—to hold it as something seen and felt—and then to attempt its cure through Mind" (ibid., p. 395).
