NORMAL DIGESTIVE FUNCTIONS RESTORED
In the spring of 2001, I began having trouble with my digestive system and natural functions. Nothing seemed to be working properly, and the symptoms and frequent discomfort I was experiencing alarmed me. I have always found healing through the spiritual method of cure explained in Christian Science, and so it was natural for me to turn to God for healing.
After several days, however, with no apparent improvement, I felt I needed help in praying through this difficulty. The Christian Science practitioner I called immediately reassured me that no power could act on its own, independently of God, and disrupt normal functioning. This helped me see that God's opposite, evil—in this case the evil named disease—had no actual existence. It was a false power based on the belief that matter has intelligence.
