Prayer restores mobility and control
My wife was raised as a Christian Scientist, and I have been attending church with her since just before we were married. I enjoyed being with her because life was more spiritually oriented. I previously attended other churches, but the messages I heard did not arouse my spiritual connection the way Christian Science has.
After many years of watching our children progress with what they learned in Sunday School and from my wife, I decided to study Christian Science more deeply.
Since that time I have had some instantaneous healings, such as having no effect from a bee sting and walking normally after twisting an ankle. The one I remember most vividly was as follows: I was preparing to go to bed one night after a party at home. I suddenly started falling backward. I completely lost control of my arms and legs, and I was not able to speak. I slid off the bed onto the floor.
