My toothache was gone
Hello! My name is Atonye. I live in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I want to tell you about a healing I had.
One sunny afternoon I was at school, and my tooth started aching. At first I wanted to tell my teacher about it. But I didn't really know how he could help me since I knew he could not heal it. So then I sat down in a quiet place, and I thought and prayed for a while. I asked myself, Who is my healer? Who can help me now, and helps me always? And the answer that came to me was: God.
I started singing a little poem that I know. It goes like this:
God is Love,
and Love is Life,
and Life is everywhere.
I thought, If God is everywhere, that means He is beside me, and around me, and fills all space. So I kept praying that way. And I said to myself that there was no space for a toothache where God was. Knowing that made me feel better.
Soon my toothache was healed. And I was able to do my work at school without any more trouble.
