A QUICK HEALING OF PAIN AND FEAR

Recently, our family moved across the country, where my husband and I were planning to start two new businesses in an area closer to family and relatives. After settling into our new home, I went to work in my home office one morning, and was soon overcome by abdominal pain. Having experienced Christian Science healing many times in my life, I felt that I certainly should be able to heal myself through prayer. I was reluctant to call for additional help from anyone. But as time went on and the pain increased, I realized that there was no room for false pride.

At this point, I couldn't talk very easily, but I made my way back to the bedroom, and asked my husband to call a Christian Science practitioner for me. He told the practitioner that I was in pain, and asked if she would pray for me. She agreed, and then my husband gave me the phone.

At first I could only blurt out in oneword increments what I needed help with. It started with fear about the pain, but soon I realized that a stream of unconscious fears concerning our move had come to the surface in my thinking, and I spoke out each of those fears. With each blurt, the practitioner shared a powerful spiritual truth that countered that particular concern. She affirmed that God was in control of the situation, that I was never outside of His care, and that therefore there was nothing to be afraid of.
