Dear Sentinel

Daisy Ostenberg

A while ago I had a healing that stands out to me because I feel I really listened to God myself and found inspiration. All the healings I had before were with someone helping me, but this time I helped myself.

I was out with my friends one night. While we were getting into the car, I hit my eye. It started to hurt a lot and was going numb. I was so embarrassed and flustered that I asked my friend to take me home. On the way, when I was trying not to cry, all of a sudden I felt a sense of calmness and quiet. I started thinking about "O gentle presence" (from the hymn "Mother's Evening Prayer" by Mary Baker Eddy).

When I got home, my dad cared for me and reminded me that I'd be OK, since I was a perfect child of God. I started flipping through the pages of Science and Health, reading passages aloud. My eye was swollen, but stopped hurting after about fifteen minutes.
