THE PRESENCE OF HEALTH

MARYSE OVIEVE

Some years ago, I went through a difficult period during which I couldn't stay still without experiencing very disagreeable sensations. During the day, I took care of my duties almost normally, but at night I couldn't fall asleep and would move around so much that I was forced to get up.

The first few days I affirmed truths about my spiritual selfhood that I read in the Bible or Science and Health. I refused, as much as possible, to listen to what the material senses were telling me. But I began to have the feeling that what I was reading was nothing more than words, and the lack of sleep was becoming very difficult to endure. I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. My condition was so unbearable that I would phone him mornings and evenings.
