Long-standing friction with family member healed

Charlotte L. Hume

I had a relationship problem with a cousin over the settlement of a will. An estrangement resulted, which lasted for more years than I wish to remember. Finally, I realized that I could do something about it through prayer.

In Science and Health, Mary Baker Eddy describes prayer that heals as "an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love" (p. 1). So I knew that an understanding of God had to be the basis of my prayer. Throughout my life I have had a warm acquaintance with God as Father-Mother, as divine Love, which dearly loves all of its children and embraces them in eternal harmony, completeness, and satisfaction. But I needed to be more specific in understanding my relationship with my cousin.
