For many years the articles and testimonies in the Sentinel have provided me with much inspiration and hope. In fact, the first instantaneous healing I experienced through Christian Science occurred while I was reading the Sentinel. One day while on my way to an appointment, I felt so overcome with menstrual cramps I thought I might faint on the sidewalk. I was able to get a taxi, then immediately pulled a Sentinel out of my purse and opened to the testimonies of healing in the back. As I read I became so filled with gratitude for God's goodness, rejoicing with the testifiers, that the discomfort faded away. Only fifteen blocks later, as I was getting out of the cab, I realized I was completely well!

Many Biblical accounts refer to God speaking to people. I have had many instances of inspiration coming to my thought in the form of Bible verses or hymns or statements from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, but a recent experience was somewhat different. I was walking along the sidewalk, thinking of someone who had been mean to me and rehearsing all the harsh things I could say to that person. All of a sudden I thought, "This is ridiculous! You need to get off this treadmill and heal this situation, not make it worse."

At this point I began crossing the street and immediately the words "Look left!" came strongly to my mind. I did and stopped in my tracks. A bicycle messenger came whizzing past me—riding against the light. I feel my decision not to indulge in thoughts of revenge enabled me to be receptive to God's guidance and protection.
