Early last year our daughter fell while playing, and to all appearances her arm was broken. Though she was in much pain, we were able to quiet her and put her to bed for the night with the assurance of God's love for all His children. We realized that scientific prayer would be the most effective treatment for the child. She responded to God's love for her by making a conscientious effort to declare her true freedom from material conditions of any kind, and was able to have a good night's rest.

Both her dad and I prayed diligently to have a clearer vision of the child's spiritual identity, her only real identity, which includes wholeness, harmony, and painless being. We contacted an experienced Christian Science practitioner for support in this prayer. Much was uncovered that we needed to relinquish— fear concerning medical beliefs, memories of similar situations, and a fear of parental inability to cope.

As a clearer perception of God's all-power and man's ability to reflect this power developed, the child responded by desiring more normal daily activity. By the third day she was writing and doing school assignments with that arm, and by the sixth day she had returned to school.
