QUICK HEALING OF A SERIOUS INJURY
One afternoon, I was in our pasture attending to one of our horses, when all of a sudden the horse kicked me in the eye. Moments before, I had realized I didn't have my glasses on, but had decided not to go and get them. How grateful I was for that now.
Right away, I started to pray. Growing up attending a Christian Science Sunday School, I had learned that prayer puts us on the path to discerning what is spiritually true about any circumstance. I started praying out loud—shouting—the Lord's Prayer and a passage from Science and Health that refutes the notion that matter is self-powered and has feeling and sensation: "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all" (p. 468). I also declared out loud a prayer I use daily, which says in part, "... let the reign of divine Truth, Life, and Love be established in me ..." (Mary Baker Eddy, Church Manual, p. 41).
