FREED FROM A HEART CONDITION

Originally published in Der Herold der Christlichen Wissenschaft

Some time ago I started experiencing an irregular heartbeat. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, as I was convinced this condition had its cause in the stress at my job. I expected the symptoms to disappear as soon as I did a better job of organizing my work.

But in spite of my best efforts, I wasn't able to accomplish any changes in my busy work schedule, and the physical trouble increased as well. I felt it necessary to get clarity about the condition from a medical point of view, and so I consulted a doctor. After examining me, the doctor told me to see a specialist as soon as possible to get a more accurate diagnosis and be able to determine the treatment that would be necessary. After the test, I was told that more tests would need to be done.

At this point I became distrustful of the process, as I didn't think it should take that long to make a determination. I decided against taking the medication that was offered to me and did not take any more tests. Instead I turned to prayer completely, and decided to rely on the healing power of Christian Science. I'd been accustomed to praying in all situations, including health issues.
