A SIMPLE TRUTH BRINGS HEALING

ALISON HOTCHKISS

For about two years I had a wart on the bottom of my foot. I knew it could be healed because I've been experiencing healings ever since I first started practicing Christian Science. So I never sought any medical remedies. But because the wart was not in a noticeable spot, I didn't give it much thought or specific prayer.

One night, while lying in bed, I was feeling overwhelmed by many things I needed to address, and didn't think I knew how to pray about them. These problems seemed so big and important.

The thought came to me, "How do you expect to heal those if you can't even heal a little spot on your foot?" The answer I heard was immediate: "Well, I can't do it, but God can." This idea made a lot of sense to me, and with that I fell asleep.
