Knee injury quickly healed
One of my favorite activities is playing volleyball. I played on my high-school team and spent most of my free time playing as much as I could. My high school was very competitive in volleyball, and our practices were intense. During one of our exercises, I twisted my knee.
Immediately, my coach and the athletic trainer carried me into an another room outside of the gym and asked many questions about my leg. I answered them, but the only thing I could really think of was "God is All, God is All." It was such a strong thought that I almost found myself saying it out loud. It was actually my prayer: I kept on praying that way until I calmed down. My coach and the trainer predicted a recovery period of several months before I could play again.
Meanwhile, someone had called my mom to tell her what had happened, and she came to the gym, helped me into the car, and took me home. When I got there, I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me for healing. I remember her telling me that all was well.
