Prayer—the effective solution

NAME REMOVED BY REQUEST

I don't typically have difficulty with stressful situations. In fact, I tend to thrive in them. That's why I was caught off guard by this frustrating situation at my new job. I'd always enjoyed relative career success, but in this new environment I felt out of place and overly eager to prove my capabilities to those around me. Soon my eyelid began to twitch. After several weeks, it became so constant that I was unable to focus on work or even get a good rest at night.

Although I attended church with my family and appreciated what I'd learned about Christian Science, I'd never used its ideas for my own healing. But when my wife, Susan, and I talked this situation over, we both realized that the twitch was directly related to the stress I was feeling at work. It seemed very logical to me to address this difficulty with prayer.

As Susan states, we then studied passages from the Bible and Science and Health each day, and she prayed specifically for me. Within a week, my eye stopped bothering me, and the healing has been complete and permanent.
