Your innocence: God sends you His witnesses

Tamie Kanata

One morning, I was driving through an intersection when an SUV suddenly popped up in front of my car and our vehicles collided. Except for a couple of bruises, I was unharmed, but my car was severely damaged.

I quickly called a Christian Science practitioner and asked her to pray for me. She lovingly affirmed with me, “Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind …” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 424). I so appreciated the practitioner’s pleasant tone, which I still recall vividly, when she said, “Nothing has changed here.” To me this meant that God’s harmony was completely intact, undisturbed, and that my harmony was intact, too.

It turned out that the other vehicle was a fire rescue SUV. A couple of police officers then arrived. After we exchanged information about the incident, two of the men in the SUV offered me a ride home. On the way, they said that the person who was driving the vehicle was their boss and everything would be well taken care of.
