HEALED OF PAIN IN KNEES

SUSAN ANDERSON

One Sunday evening, I developed such a painful knee that I could not bend it or get comfortable lying down. As a life-long Christian Scientist, I'd trusted God's power to heal any kind of problem. I knew I could rely on Him again.

So I prayed and studied until late into the night, with the help of the Bible and Science and Health, the two books that are the pastor of the Christian Science Church. It seemed difficult to focus on the healing truths in these books, however, because of the pain. And at times I became so discouraged that I broke down in tears. But finally I was able to get some rest.

The next morning, I was still unable to walk easily or bend my knee normally. I spent the beautiful, sunny morning studying the Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly — an unfailing source of inspiration and guidance to me. As I went through that week's Lesson slowly, citation by citation, I found the word harmony many times. And harmony was what I was so longing for. I wanted to really feel and recognize not disorderly muscles, but God's harmony as present and the only power. My husband joined me in this prayer. We looked up words in a dictionary to deepen our understanding of their meaning.
