Injuries quickly healed

Gretchen Wichtermann Thompson

A couple of years ago our car skidded out of control, hydroplaning across the road and hitting a large rock outcropping on the side of the road. The car reversed direction before coming to a halt.

Several minutes before this all happened, I had been impelled to pray, and I had been thinking about God's presence. This prayer protected me, I am certain, because when the car stopped, I wondered if I might be passing on. But on the heels of this thought was another, stronger, thought that God was Life—always —and that I wanted to live. When my husband asked if I was all right, I could say yes.

After a while, paramedics arrived and urged us to go to a hospital to be checked. I wanted to rely only on Christian Science, so I declined their urging and signed their disclaimer of responsibility.
