COMPLETE FREEDOM FROM IMMOBILIZING HIP PAIN

Originally published in El Heraldo de la Christian Science

HERTHA FENNER

A year and a half ago, I started feeling severe pain in my hip. The condition worsened to such an extent that I had a lot of trouble climbing the stairs to my fourth-floor apartment, and I could no longer take public transportation to get around. My children then suggested I sell the apartment and buy another one closer to all my activities, because my place was very far from the center of Santiago.

I began to pray about this. Often the inspiration I get from hymns in the Christian Science Hymnal has been so helpful to me. The words to Hymn 82, which says, in part, that "God is working His purpose out/As year succeeds to year," encouraged me, and helped me understand that God had a plan for me—and that His plan, or purpose, would certainly be fulfilled in my life.

Thanks to this prayer, my children and I were inspired to put the apartment up for sale, and were able to sell it very quickly. The second person who saw it, bought it. Meanwhile, we were looking for another apartment for me and finally found a beautiful one on the eighth floor of a building with an elevator. It was ideal—in just the right location, closer to my church and work.
