Margaret-Ann McCauley

"When examined in the light of divine Science, mortals present more than is detected upon the surface, since inverted thoughts and erroneous beliefs must be counterfeits of Truth. Thought is borrowed from a higher source than matter, and by reversal, errors serve as waymarks to the one Mind, in which all error disappears in celestial Truth" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 267).

How grateful I am for all the waymarks to God. The most wonderful thing about prayer is that the healing truth is always readily accessible to thought, whenever needed. A beautiful healing of a fractured cheekbone, which I had when in my late teens, has been a source of comfort, and also of conviction that I could again rely on God's omnipotent care when I was hurt a couple of years ago.

The first healing occurred when I was injured in a car accident. While the cars involved were being removed from the road, I managed to telephone a Christian Science practitioner and ask for help through prayer. She reminded me of a statement from Science and Health: "Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind, and we must leave the mortal basis of belief and unite with the one Mind, in order to change the notion of chance to the proper sense of God's unerring direction and thus bring out harmony" (p. 424). I can remember thinking that if God knew nothing about this accident, I couldn't either, as I reflected divine Mind. I rejoined my friends, and whilst waiting for help to arrive, we sat by the kerbside singing our favourite hymns from the Christian Science Hymnal. At no time did I feel any pain, but actually a sense of being surrounded by God's loving care.
