Before I came into Christian Science I was suffering from nervousness, and medical aid had failed to help me. I had attended services at a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, several times, and one night at home after much suffering and restlessness, I decided to look to God for my help. I got out of bed, sat down, picked up my copy of the Bible, and prayed to God to lead me to the truth. When I opened the Bible, right before my eyes was this verse (Ps. 121:2): "My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." This was my answer.

That night I disposed of all the medicine, and early the next morning I called a Christian Science practitioner to ask her to pray for me. After I'd related my situation, she helped me see that I was suffering from fear. Then suddenly I felt relaxed, free, peaceful, and had love in my heart for everyone. This sense of inspiration was surely something I had been searching for; without a doubt, Christian Science was the truth.

I started reading Christian Science literature and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Page 1 of this book includes the following statement: "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love." I gave the words "absolute faith," "spiritual understanding," and "unselfed love" much study. The Concordance to Science and Health was most useful.
