'CHECKING IN' WITH SPIRIT, NOT MATTER

A few years ago, I experienced a kidney stone. Intense pain hit me as I was driving a long distance alone in a remote part of Colorado. My initial reaction was to think I'd been poisoned somehow.

I called a Christian Science practitioner from my cellphone. She told me I couldn't find myself under "attack" from any source, because God, good, was in control. She gave me the sense of peace and comfort that allowed me to undertake the rest of the journey home on my own.

Over the next few days, the pain didn't abate. It reached a point where I said to myself: "I have asked and asked in prayer, What do I need to know to find relief and healing? What is the truth that God knows about me? Why can't I find an answer?"
