In Miscellaneous Writings Mrs. Eddy writes, "No evidence before the material senses can close my eyes to the scientific proof that God, good, is supreme" (p. 277). That profound statement has been very helpful to me in finding healing of physical problems through reliance on God alone.

I have learned to take difficulties directly to God, rather than discuss them with others. Doing this, I have found that healings come more quickly; there is only my own thinking to deal with.

This was the case when I discovered a growth on my neck. Through prayer, putting steadfast and calm trust in God to heal me, I saw the growth simply vanish in less than two weeks. Many spiritual truths sustained me during this time. I studied especially the statement that Christian Science "changes the secretions, expels humors, dissolves tumors, relaxes rigid muscles, restores carious bones to soundness" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mrs. Eddy, p. 162). I had considered the words change, expel, dissolve, relax, and restore, knowing that the truth also changes our thinking, expels and dissolves whatever error may be lurking, eliminates tension and fear, and restores the body to reflect health rather than sickness.
