I had a stomachache during school time at home

Scott Godine

I had a stomachache during school time at home. (My mother teaches me at home.) My mother said we should pray, and I went upstairs to read Science and Health.

When I opened the book, it was at a page that talks about the symptoms of the body not being real. I liked the part where it said, "If brain, nerves, stomach, are intelligent,—if they talk to us, tell us their condition, and report how they feel,—then Spirit and matter, Truth and error, commingle and produce sickness and health, good and evil, life and death; and who shall say whether Truth or error is the greater?" (p. 211). I felt grateful to God and thought that my stomach didn't have any intelligence to tell me it was upset. I was healed in a few minutes. I went downstairs and told my mom about it.

I had been saying to my mother the day before, when she asked me to pray about a decision, that I had tried praying many times and didn't always feel I got an answer. But this time, I remember, God did answer. It made me think that I can listen to Him more closely.
