As a child I loved reading the Christian Science periodicals

Janet B. Worth with contributions from Rowlett B. Worth

As a child I loved reading the Christian Science periodicals. They were precious to me. They brought comfort during times of sadness or sickness. I rejoiced in the helpful testimonies shared by those who applied the truths of Science to their problems. I, too, wish to share some of the good that has come into my experience over many years of studying and practicing Christian Science.

During my teens I became seriously ill one summer. My family and I turned to God in prayer for help. We held steadfastly to the knowledge that my true being as the likeness of God, good, was untouched by error or evil of any kind. We knew that the only power is God's power.

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy states (p. 495): "When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious—as Life eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not." I was completely unafraid. I knew that nothing could separate me from God's love. I felt a clear sense of my true spiritual selfhood.
