RASH HEALED WHEN PRAYER WENT DEEPER

VICTORIA BARTLETT

In January 1992, I began to suffer from a persistent rash. I was itchy all over, especially in any fold of skin. As a longtime student of Christian Science, I've had many healings through spiritual means alone, so it was natural for me to turn to prayer to relieve my discomfort.

I thought I knew what prayer was. "A solemn request of God" or "thanksgiving to God," says the dictionary. A request can be an entreaty, or begging, as in "Give ear to my words, O Lord" (Ps. 5:1). It can be a demand of God to do something, as in "Make haste, O God, to deliver me" (Ps. 70:1).
