A HUMBLING HEALING

BOB ROCKABRAND

I have so much gratitude for the effectiveness of Christian Science healing, and for the willing assistance that just one student of this Science can provide for another in a time of need.

In late winter of 2006, I was preparing to sing in a music program at the college where I am a professor emeritus. As a lifetime musician, voice teacher, and singer in church and on the stage, I was really looking forward to this opportunity. However, a few weeks before the event, I developed a heavy cold that included bouts of coughing and congestion. I realized that if this vocal challenge didn't clear up, I'd be robbed of the pleasure of sharing some beautiful music with the students.

So as I'd done many times before, I turned to prayer for healing. And I immediately began reflecting on this statement from Science and Health: "Realize the presence of health and the fact of harmonious being, until the body corresponds with the normal conditions of health and harmony" (p. 412). Praying daily with that statement provided inspiration and comfort.
