EYE CONDITION HEALED QUICKLY
One morning last spring, I noticed that my eyes were quite red. As the day progressed, my vision grew worse, and there was considerable discomfort. When my husband, who is not a Christian Scientist, got home that evening, he was alarmed at my appearance. He told me that he thought my eyes looked damaged and that they were deteriorating, and he wanted to take me to a hospital emergency room.
As a student of Christian Science, however, I had experienced many healings of my own and seen other people healed through spiritual prayer. I knew this situation would be no different. I thanked my husband for his love and told him that we could trust God to heal me and to take away our fears. He agreed to pray with the Lord's Prayer in support of us both.
Then I went into another room and reached out to God for help, thinking of this Bible passage: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1). I also called a Christian Science practitioner who agreed to pray with me. He reassured me that I was under the unfailing protection of our heavenly Father-Mother God. His calm confidence was comforting and helped alleviate my fear.
