Testimony of Healing November 22, 2004 Issue

Prayer is reliable healthcare

Kay Keelor

Some years ago, I had plantar warts on the bottom of one foot. They were ugly and sometimes painful. Over a period of months, I prayed off and on for healing.

During this time, I took Christian Science class instruction, a 12-lesson course on spiritual healing. As a result of what I was learning in the class, I found myself praying more deeply about healing. My thoughts were moving in a new, spiritual direction. I saw the need of dropping thoughts and actions that weren't progressive. In a way, it was like the beginning of a "thought makeover" —a remodeling of my outlook. Those two weeks made a tremendous difference in my life.

Afterward I continued to pray for a healing of the warts. One day I came across an article in a women's magazine about plantar warts. It talked about medical procedures, particularly surgery, for getting rid of them. It also said that even with surgery, it was likely the warts would reappear. This didn't jibe at all with what I'd just been learning about spiritual healing. I rebelled, especially since my family and I had already had wonderful healings through prayer, and because I was continuing to grow in my understanding of what was possible to God.
