It didn't have to run its course

Heidi Kleinsmith Van Patten

Last fall my baby daughter, Haley, and I both came down with cold symptoms. As a life-long Christian Scientist, I was used to praying for myself whenever I was sick. However, although both my husband and I had been praying for Haley's well-being since before she was born, it was a new experience to be praying for her when she wasn't feeling well.

Science and Health says, "If the case is that of a young child or an infant, it needs to be met mainly through the parent's thought, silently or audibly on the aforesaid basis of Christian Science" (p. 412).
