GRATEFUL FOR CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

VALERIE FORSYTH

When my children had grown up and left home, I began experiencing considerable pain in my abdomen. It felt as though my womb was dropping or had dropped.

Through Christian Science, I'd been healed of that condition in a milder form a year before. At that time I'd prayed with the simple words, "God holds." Quoting from Proverbs 30:4, Science and Health refers to God as Spirit, promising that "moral and spiritual might belong to Spirit, who holds the 'wind in His fists;'and this teaching accords with Science and harmony" (p.192). Often, simple thoughts are the most helpful to me, and the concept of God holding all creation in a state of harmony had been much in my thought. I had already used this idea that "God holds" all creation in a state of harmony when praying about a threatening wind when my husband and I were driving in southern France. Relating it to the pain and discomfort I felt, I had found the physical evidence of prolapse, including the pain, quickly healed.

But now when the condition reappeared, it was more severe, and my every movement was painful. But having learned to turn to God first in any problem, I again stayed with the words "God holds."
