One day several years ago, I noticed a growth on my chest

Helen Dillen Miller

One day several years ago, I noticed a growth on my chest. Because the growth was small, I gave it little prayerful attention. As time passed, the growth enlarged, and I became afraid.

The Christian Science practitioner I called comforted me and gave me treatment through prayer. To understand that there is no fear in God's omnipresence took a lot of discipline on my part. Overcoming fear was something I prayed about day and night, humbly seeking God's guidance as I continued my in-depth study of Christian Science.

I struggled with limiting notions about man that seemed to counteract what I knew to be true about myself in my real nature as a spiritual idea of God. At times I walked the floor, saying statements of spiritual truth out loud. This verse in Psalms was a great comfort to me: "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me."
