Prayerful headache medicine

Mindy Chism

By getting rid of fear, I've been able to solve a lot of problems.

One time I was on my way to a gymnastics meet. It was very important because I had to compete to qualify for another meet. On the way, I suddenly got a very bad headache. I started feeling sorry for myself, and was getting afraid that I wouldn't be able to compete in the meet. The more I worried, the more my head hurt.

I stopped being afraid of missing the gymnastics meet.

Then, the simple thought came to me that "there is no spot where God is not." This reassured me that God was there, and I could lean on Him. I stopped being afraid of missing the gymnastics meet, and was able to focus on praying. I remembered that I was a perfect reflection of our perfect God, no matter what. If it was right for me to compete, there would be no way a headache could keep me from competing.

My headache completely disappeared. I was able to compete, and I did qualify for the next meet.
