One day I was at school, and a little girl accidentally stepped in front of me and I fell. My knees were badly hurt. After school I went to my piano lesson. On the way, I sang to myself "Onward, Christian soldiers" [Christian Science Hymnal, Hymn No. 264]. It says:

Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.

I knew that God is everywhere, that every spot is really filled with goodness, so there is no room for error, such as accidents, hurt, or unhappiness. During my piano lesson my knees stopped hurting. Soon the bruises all disappeared. I was healed.
