SKIN CONDITION HEALED

RUSSELL WALLACE

Last summer, itchy red dots suddenly began to appear on my arms. They looked like bites from a spider or insect. I was apprehensive because I was scheduled to report to Marine Corps boot camp in just a few weeks, and I was worried that I would not be allowed to enter boot camp with this condition.

My first reaction was to pray about the situation as I'd learned to do in Christian Science. My mom and dad, who are both Christian Scientists, supported me and offered a few helpful spiritual ideas, but I still felt anxious about the situation.

Though I knew I wanted to handle the issue through prayer alone, the itching from the bites was often overpowering. I knew I needed to do something. I even thought about getting some sort of medication to deal with it, but then made a firm decision to handle the problem through prayer.
