HEALED OF CHRONIC STOMACH PROBLEMS

PUNEET SHARMA

I was introduced to Christian Science in 2007. Since then, I have experienced many healings through prayer, which inspired me to become a member of my local Christian Science Society.

I was raised in a Hindu family. At the age of 21, I was surprised when my friend gave me a copy of the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy as a gift. She told me that the spiritual truths given in this book can heal us of all kinds of problems. She also invited me to attend Christian Science church services on Sunday, and testimony meetings on Wednesday. On my very first visit, I was moved with the love and warmth of the people there. At that time, I had no interest in my school studies, and I felt a lack of concentration. This stressed my parents out, and they were very concerned for me.

Along with that, I did not have very good health. For two years, I had suffered from indigestion at times, but last year it became persistent. Whenever I ate something from the local market, I experienced bowel trouble soon after, along with vomiting and stomach pain. From my study of Christian Science, I knew that I needed to conquer my fear of becoming ill after eating, but I didn't know how to overcome that fear. So I talked to a Christian Science practitioner I'd met, and requested that she pray for me.
