BACK AND RIB PAIN HEALED

JANE E. FITZGERALD

Earlier this summer, while concerned with work and personal responsibilities, I found myself trying to ignore a nagging discomfort in the side of my back. What first appeared as an annoying ache morphed into a burning sensation in my rib cage as well. Though I continued working and remained active, this pain often prevented me from finding any comfortable position in which to sit or lie for any length of time.

As a student of Christian Science, I felt confident that by claiming in prayer the powerlessness of the pain, and by better understanding that nothing could alter my perfection as God's child, normalcy would be naturally restored. I knew nothing could separate me from my true spiritual heritage. The Bible declares, "I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord" (Jer. 30:17).

I humbly prayed and sought Love's inspiration. Even when I could not sleep at night, my thought was calmed by companioning with the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Beatitudes, along with "the scientific statement of being" found on page 468 of Science and Health. These spiritual truths sustained me; however, the pain was persistent, and after several days, my husband became more concerned about my well-being.
