It's straight!
I had a tooth growing in, and it was really crooked. My mom asked me if I wanted to go to the orthodontist. But I said I wanted to pray instead. I thought prayer could help better than an orthodontist. I thought this because the kind of prayer I've learned from going to Christian Science Sunday School has healed me before.
I thought about how God could heal anything, because that's what God does! Just like my mom's job is to take care of me, God's job is to take care of everyone. To me, God is Love and everything good. I remember lying in bed with my mom and thinking, "God is Love, and Love couldn't make my tooth crooked." My mom prayed, too.
In a couple of days my tooth was straight!
I'm very grateful that my tooth is straight, and that God is here for all of us.
