For many years the testimonies in the Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Journal have been an inspiration to me. I have been grateful to those healed through prayer who are willing to share their experiences. Many times an account of a specific healing has been concluded by the testifier's gratefully acknowledging the healing of other health challenges, such as burns, sprains, or so-called childhood diseases.

Especially after I became a mother, the references to healings of so-called childhood diseases seemed to awaken in me a desire to know how these healings had come about.

As a parent who is a Christian Scientist, I often include in my daily prayers for my children the denial of prevalent medical theories, such as contagion, inflammation, or the effects of accidents. I strive to replace these suggestions of human vulnerability with a clear affirmation of God's ever-present, all-enveloping love for each of His children. I am grateful for what I have learned of the power of prayer to meet the health needs of our children.
