GRATEFUL FOR MANY HEALINGS

Originally published in El Heraldo de la Ciencia Cristiana

AZUCENA SEVESO DE RISO

I taught music education in elementary and secondary school for many years, until I decided it was time to leave my job. Not long after, my jaw became dislocated and caused me a lot of pain. As a Christian Scientist, I began to pray for healing of this situation. However, some months went by, and I continued to have problems with my jaw, until one day it occurred to me that I should take a look at what might be out of place in my life. I realized that after I'd stopped teaching, I missed having a regular daily activity. As I kept praying, the following Bible verse came to my thought: "Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared" (Ex. 23:20).

I'd been studying Christian Science for a long time and helping my friends and family through prayer whenever they requested it. Then one day, after praying and trusting in God to guide me, I felt impelled to become a full-time Christian Science practitioner and dedicate myself to spiritual healing. When I started the application process, the issue with my jaw disappeared. It was completely healed. This healing confirmed for me once again that health and well-being don't have any basis in the body, but rather in thought.
