When our older daughter was born, the doctor told me that she had jaundice and that he would have to watch her closely. I never once accepted that verdict but turned immediately in prayer to see what God was telling me. I gained a sweet, clear assurance of Soul's immediate presence, its beauty, color, and allness. That was all my daughter could have or express. There was no further mention of the problem, and no further evidence of it.

When I was pregnant with our younger daughter, I was told rather late in the pregnancy that she was in a breech position. As I prayed, I saw that if anything needed adjusting, it was in thought—the belief that anything could ever be out of its perfect place in God's creation. One evening I had such a clear realization of God's law being all, governing all, and keeping all perfect. At that moment I felt the baby's position shift.

At the birth the doctor was concerned about the lengthy delivery and at one point indicated that he would need to use forceps if it was prolonged further. I had my husband contact the Christian Science practitioner who was praying with us. Before he returned, the baby was on her way naturally.
