In September 1996 I began to experience severe pain in my groin area. At times the pain seemed to spread beyond that. After a couple of days of praying for myself, the pain was still there, so I contacted a Christian Science practitioner for treatment. After a few days the pain had subsided considerably.

About a week later the pain returned. I again called the practitioner for treatment, and again she agreed to pray for treatment, and again she agreed to pray for me. This time the pain continued for about three weeks. During this time I also lost all interest in solid food. Although I tried to eat, nothing appealed to me. Bodily functions also became painful and very inharmonious. I lost weight and strength, but was glad to be able to continue with most of my responsibilities at home, work, and church.

I was in daily contact with the practitioner. She lovingly and gently encouraged me, and she shared many truths with me. We talked about my wholeness and goodness as God's child and my present perfection. Along with the physical problem, there were feelings of discouragement and self-pity to overcome.
