Some years ago while driving to the East Coast, I stopped to see some friends, and while there lifted something quite heavy. I felt a strain in my back, but more or less ignored it so as not to upset anyone. Then I continued driving for several days.

The strain persisted, and shortly after I returned home my whole leg became extremely sensitive and painful. I was forced into bed, where I was confined for several weeks. I was later to conclude that I had sciatica; but at the time I struggled with fears that it was one of any number of serious or malignant conditions.

I prayed to calm these fears by understanding the unreality of evil—by knowing that anything unlike good, the quality of God, has no existence. This helped me to resist the suggestion that maybe a medical diagnosis would be useful, because I came to realize man is a spiritual idea of God, for whom details of bodily conditions are irrelevant.
