FLU SYMPTOMS—GONE

MATT LAWRENCE

I was raised in Christian Science and attended a Christian Science Sunday School. Growing up, I had many healings through spiritual prayer. Sunday School provided me with a wonderful resource to discuss my relationship with God. Learning that each of us is the unblemished expression of Spirit, God, that we constantly reflect His love, and that no physical illness can ever separate us from that love or cause us any harm became a way of thinking and living for me. Whenever symptoms of a cold, fever, or other illness appeared, I always turned to prayer as my first response and was usually relieved of the discomfort as quickly as it had come about.

One experience I had a few years ago, however, challenged me to dive more deeply into prayer. One morning, when I was in college, I woke up with what felt like head-to-toe symptoms of the flu. This caught me a little off guard because it seemed to have come out of nowhere. I had trouble getting out of bed, but managed to get to my 8:00 a.m. marketing class.

My professor took one look at me, and sent me back to my dorm. Actually, I was grateful to return to my room, but instead of making a real effort to pray about my condition, I quickly thought of some spiritual truths, decided to deal with the problem later, and promptly fell asleep. A few hours later I woke significantly more ill than before. It was then I decided that I really needed to dig in and pray.
