A LIFE-CHANGING HEALING

WALLY DINGEE

A number of years ago, I began to experience difficulty with walking and maintaining balance. Several people in my workplace had been having a similar challenge, and had been diagnosed with an incurable neurological disease. I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful treatment because I felt I could rely on the laws of divine Mind, God, to heal me, as I had many other times.

The practitioner helped at once to calm my fear, which was quickly mounting because performing at work was increasingly difficult. Her loving, nurturing words assured me that nothing could be outside of God's harmonious control. At the time, I didn't realize the spiritual growth that was in store for me.

Each day as I entered my company parking lot, it was a challenge to get from my car to the office, which was almost a mile away. As I slowly made my way to the building entrance, I would pray with this passage from Isaiah: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness" (41:10). I was comforted by the idea that God was upholding me every moment.
