A quick healing

William Spencer Keel with contributions from Hallie Keel

We were visiting Colorado. One day when we were getting out of the car, my mom shut my hand in the door, and I started to cry. I was crying because it hurt.

Then instead of crying, I turned to God and said a prayer called the "Daily Prayer." It says, "...let the reign of divine Truth, Life, and Love be established in me..." (Mary Baker Eddy, Manual of The Mother Church, p. 41).

Whenever I say the word reign in the Daily Prayer, I think about how God reigns over us. I stopped crying and realized I didn't need to be in pain, because I was God's child. God is infinite and omnipotent, so therefore I couldn't be hurt. Then I remembered that I couldn't change because I was God's reflection.
