More than twenty years ago I became a student of Christian Science

Mirta B. de Rodríguez with contributions from Dorothy L. Walker

More than twenty years ago I became a student of Christian Science. I thank God for guiding my footsteps to this blessed Science when all material resources were inadequate to solve my problems. I have obtained an ever-present help from the daily study of the Bible Lesson, from the writings of Mrs. Eddy, and through the practice of this Science.

Last year I became ill and suffered with great pain in my body. This was accompanied by dizziness and nausea. Although I denied all physical pain and made an effort to keep my thought on the omnipresence and power of God, the pain did not stop. I was inspired to ask for help through prayer from a Christian Science practitioner, who assured me she would help immediately. Within an hour the problem that seemed so evident yielded to the healing presence of spiritual Truth, then disappeared completely. And it has not returned. I am grateful to God for this demonstration of His power, and for the practitioner who helped me receive it.

On many occasions I have been blessed with divine protection. One time I was returning home after attending a meeting in a branch church; mortal mind suggested to me that I was alone in a deserted place, and since it was late at night I wouldn't have transportation to return home. I denied that suggestion of error, not accepting it as true. I pondered the twenty-third Psalm, thinking about each verse. I realized that God was present right where I was. I felt a sense of peace and great expectation of good, and this dissolved all anxiety and fear.
