Suffering stopped
A while ago I went to a movie in which the main character was portrayed as suffering from a bladder infection. A month later I felt quite sick, and I was afraid that I might be suffering from the same disease. I realized that if I was going to pray for healing, I needed to eradicate the graphic images of suffering from my thinking.
I began to pray with clear certainly that this was not a part of my expression of God. There isn't any opposing power to influence or impress God's child. I declared that my true identity was God's spiritual, perfect, harmonious daughter.
Disease is neither a cause nor an effect to do anything to God's spiritual, perfect creation. I knew that it was an illusion that had never really touched me, any more than it had really affected the actor in the movie. It was all a lie. My spirituality and goodness were incorruptible.
