'WHEN THE FEAR WAS ERASED, I WAS HEALED'

DEB WICKERSHAM

When I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me in the spring of 2004, I hadn't called one in a year and a half, and during that time, I had been in a hospital for medical attention.

Prior to my hospital stay, I had prayed with various practitioners for several years. But my health had continued to deteriorate — breathing was very labored, I couldn't sleep, and I could walk only a few steps without sitting down. So I yielded to my family's desires that I seek medical care. It was a very difficult time for me, although the medical care I received was so tender, and the doctors and nurses were respectful of my religious convictions and the resulting conflict.

Even while I was in the hospital receiving medical care, I experienced an incredible uplift in my consciousness. After the first night of medical treatment, the fear and mental fog of illness that had overwhelmed me for so long just lifted. I'd been praying for myself. And at that moment I felt more certain of taking charge of my thoughts.
