FREED FROM MENTAL AND PHYSICAL 'SNARES'
Originally published in Der Herold der Christian Science
One day I had a guest for lunch. After spending a lovely time together, we decided to finish off the afternoon with a walk along the Elbe River, which is seven minutes from my home. By then it was late in the afternoon, and it was starting to get dark. Lots of leaves covered the path we were walking on.
Suddenly I stumbled and fell down headlong. My foot had gotten caught in a metal wire that I hadn't seen because it was hidden under the leaves. My friend helped me back on my feet. But I found that my leg was extremely painful and bruised, and I couldn't walk easily.
As a Christian Scientist, I am used to praying whenever I am in a difficulty, including physical troubles. Relying on God and His laws of health and harmony has helped me in so many situations. So it was natural for me to turn to God immediately and declare that in His care I was safe. For me, there is no other way.
