I am very grateful for all the healings I have had in Christian Science

I am very grateful for all the healings I have had in Christian Science. I have been in a Christian Science Sunday School since I was two years old and am now sixteen.

There years ago I came home from school feeling worse than I ever had before. After I told my mother about it, she told me to go to my room and pray. When I got up there, I turned to the chapter on Prayer in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and found (p. 2), "Prayer cannot change the Science of being, but it tends to bring us into harmony with it."

It seemed as if I were getting worse and worse. I asked my mother to call a Christian Science practitioner. The practitioner said, "It's just like a mirage in a desert; you think it's there, but it really isn't at all. When the truth about a mirage is found out—that it isn't for real—we see that the desert doesn't have to recover from this false thought, for it has never been touched by it." This helped me see more clearly that I was in God's perfect protection and nothing could harm me, for I am His child.
