Abdominal pain healed
One morning I woke up feeling just fine. My wife was leaving for work ahead of me. Everything seemed very normal as I said goodbye to her and watched her leave. Within minutes, though, I was struck by a totally unexpected pain in my abdomen that just floored me. I literally crumpled to my knees and from then on was trying to find some position, any position, that would bring relief from the pain. I couldn't. I tried praying for myself, but the pain far outweighed any efforts to do so. I picked up the telephone, and called a Christian Science healer. She shared some inspirational thoughts with me. She also said she would pray for me. I was just looking to God to bring me freedom.
The prayers of the practitioner didn't bring quick relief. So I called her back a second time. On one level it felt comforting just to know that someone was there, who cared. On the other hand, I needed more than just that grateful feeling. I badly needed to experience the spiritual power of prayer bringing the practical effect of physical healing.
