'With God's help, I could stop pain'

A couple of years ago, I would sometimes develop painful cramps in my legs after strenuous exercise. Later, I began to get cramps in my feet as I lay in bed at night. On these occasions I would try to pray for myself by reasoning that God was always with me, and that therefore I could only live in harmony.

At first the only ways for me to get relief from the severe pain were to get out of bed and walk around or to force my feet against the bottom of the bed. If I didn't take this action, the pain would escalate beyond control. But my choice for ultimately healing this condition was prayer.

One night I lay in bed praying. I knew that there was a spiritual path to obtaining complete freedom from the pain. Such healing, I'd learned, came from understanding that God had made me healthy and well. Reliance on this truth had always proved by far the best healing for me. It had lifted me many times out of ill health and brought me to a new level of wellness, happiness, and gratitude.
