Recently I was sitting in our branch Church of Christ, Scientist, at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting, listening to the inspiring readings from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. The readings were on the subject of "faith." My heart was filled with gratitude for faith, as we spiritually understand it in Christian Science. I was reminded how true faith, or trust in God, had brought me healing from fear when I was a young woman.

During my early years I was often clutched by fear of one disease or another, as well as fear of death. Throughout that time the Bible was a great help to me, and this verse in Isaiah was a close companion (41:10): "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
