PROOF OF GOD'S COMPLETE CARE
Early in the summer of 2006, my wife and I were preparing to attend our Christian Science association meeting in Chicago. We planned to travel by car with two friends who'd invited us to join them.
After a smooth trip, and dinner with our friends, my wife and I decided to turn in early. We were very much looking forward to the meeting the following day.
At around 4 a.m., however, I woke up in much discomfort with what felt like a severe tightening of the muscles on the left side of my face and body. Not wanting to disturb my wife, I immediately began to pray. The first thought that came to me was a passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures I knew by heart: "We cannot deny that Life is self-sustained, and we should never deny the everlasting harmony of Soul, simply because, to the mortal senses, there is seeming discord. It is our ignorance of God, the divine Principle, which produces apparent discord, and the right understanding of Him restores harmony" (Mary Baker Eddy, p. 390).
