Severe symptoms of poisoning healed

Sharon Currin Mahaffie

Last summer, I woke early in the morning with symptoms of severe food poisoning. Since the pain and bodily functions seemed out of control, I asked the friend I was visiting if she could call a Christian Science practitioner for me. I didn't even feel that I could make it to the telephone. After briefly explaining the situation to him, she brought the phone to me. The practitioner assured me that God was there, and that nothing could invade the purity and perfection of my being. For the next few hours, I clung to that thought. I was able to be up and about the following day and to complete a portion of our trip that involved a three-hour car drive. I rejoiced that Christian Science treatment came to my aid so quickly and so efficiently when I seemed unable to pray clearly for myself. I was grateful for the quick healing.

Instead of climbing into bed, as I had been doing for a couple of days, I sat on the edge of it and prayed.
