Christian Science has given my life a spiritual foundation
Christian Science has given my life a spiritual foundation. This teaching proved to be invaluable to me while I was serving in the military, and it continues to be a wonderful benefit to me in college. I would like to share a healing I had during my military experience.
During a very rigorous basic training course, I had felt very much sustained by God. I was able to demonstrate dominion both physically and mentally as a result of prayer and trust in His protective care. In my class I even earned an honor award.
Later in the course of my military duty, I was exposed to poisonous gas. My lungs were considered severely damaged, and breathing became difficult and painful. In my distress I phoned my mother, who is a Christian Science practitioner. I told her I was to be released to return home for a stay, and I asked her to pray for me. The military doctors at my base sent me home with a large supply of medicine, which they said would temporarily relieve the pain in breathing. I did not take the medication because I was putting my trust solely in God for healing.
