Effects of a fall fully healed

"Just as you prayed to banish the belief of headache, you can now pray to banish the belief of a fall on the ice." This is the thought that came to me as I went to my desk to pray, to affirm the fact that harmony is the law of God and that it was that law that I was under and no other. I had previously prayed in this way about a headache until it had disappeared, and this was what I was remembering that afternoon after I had taken a bad fall on a patch of ice.

Although I had landed on my back, as soon as I was aware of where I was, the thought that man was unfallen from his high estate immediately came to me. With it was the idea of the First Commandment, that I did not have to acknowledge any power but the power of God, good. A great sense of joy filled my consciousness. In fact, I was surprised to find myself actually rejoicing in the opportunity to prove the reality of Spirit and the unreality of the claim of accident, pain, and fear.
