'FEELING GOD'S LOVE HEALED ME'

For about 12 years, I experienced a whole gamut of fears and emotions over an alarming physical condition. A fist-sized lump had developed in my left breast. It had been painful and restrictive at times. Over a period of several years it dissolved, as the natural outcome of my dedicated prayer in seeking a better understanding of my relationship with God. This was the "changed evidence" Mrs. Eddy wrote about on page 297 of Science and Health: "Change the evidence, and that disappears which before seemed real to this false belief, and the human consciousness rises higher." You can't imagine a heart more full of gratitude.

A short time later, I received some disturbing family news and was beside myself with worry and feelings of loss and aloneness. My dear younger sister had passed away unexpectedly, and I had no immediate family to turn to for consolation. I found some comfort and inspiration in knowing that God, my divine Father-Mother, was always present, caring for me and enfolding me in His love and guidance. I knew I was entitled to His guardianship and that He was loving me, always. However, I was not feeling the peace that I needed.

One morning, my heart cried out in utter discouragement, and I wept uncontrollably in the shower. I felt so alone and deserted. It seemed my whole world was crumbling. I also was struggling with another physical difficulty, a mole on my neck that had become quite enlarged, and at times was uncomfortable.
