I was about to leave with my wife on a drive of over six hours to a neighboring state to fulfill a public-speaking engagement the following afternoon. For several days I'd had trouble with my back, and as I bent down to pick up the last items to be loaded into the car, it was as if something slipped out of place, and I felt excruciating pain in the lower back. I struggled to the car and got in. My wife did almost all the driving while I spent the time reading and praying, vigorously refuting the agonizing evidence the physical senses were confronting me with, and striving to understand better that my indestructible spiritual selfhood is inseparable from my divine source, my Father-Mother God. Under His divine order there can be no disorder, no displacement, no disruption of right relationships, and I was praying to understand this better. After a few hours there was enough improvement for me to drive for a short time. I felt my wife's strong prayerful support all through this challenging time, as I always do.

Back pain healed.
