PERSISTENT PRAYER BRINGS HEALING

DEBBY BARRON with contributions from STEVE BARRON

In 2002, I began to experience what appeared to be a chronic internal difficulty. I had flu-like symptoms on a regular basis, and sometimes found it difficult to even get out of bed.

At first, dire predictions ran through my mind. However, I'd had many experiences of healing through applying the truths of Christian Science, and so I again turned wholeheartedly to God. I studied and prayed extensively with the idea of God as Life—my Life—and to see my way out of the material belief that I could ever be less than "upright, pure, and free" (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 171). Even though the condition did not immediately subside, I continued to pray.

At around this same time, I'd also been praying about a very challenging time in my marriage. There was a lot of friction, and my husband and I argued frequently. I felt I needed help, so I called a Christian Science practitioner and began to pour my heart out to her.
