ALLERGIES GONE, NEVER TO RETURN

Originally published in Der Christian Science Herold

For over ten years I'd been suffering from a pollen allergy that got worse and worse every year. The months of spring, from February to May, were always very tough for me.

Then in December 1991, I was introduced to Christian Science and loved it. I was learning about a new spiritual view of God and His creation, and was delving into it to understand it more deeply. By the time February rolled around and the allergies started up again, I found I could forgo medical treatment to alleviate the physical difficulties, and instead trust in God to help me.

I decided that I was not willing to let myself be distracted or impressed by physical susceptibilities and limitations, and would not allow them to control my thinking. Whenever allergy symptoms flared up, I would tell myself: "You are able to think only healthy thoughts that have their origin in God. God is All, God is Spirit, and He is all-good—therefore matter and material conditions have no reality to be afraid of." As a result of my prayer along these lines, my well-being during the allergy season improved to the degree that I was able to manage without any medication.
