Injured hands healed
While I was helping out at my son’s school, I caught a falling pole with my right hand, but the pole twisted out of my hand, snapping my thumb and breaking the finger nail into the quick. I kept affirming out loud that I was all right and silently that God was governing. I was able to finish the tasks, and continued to pray about my hand after I got home.
A couple of days later, I grabbed the handle of a pan that had just come out of a 450 degree oven with my bare left hand. The pain was severe. I stopped for a few minutes and prayed with “the scientific statement of being” in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (see p. 468). I refused to give in to the pain.
I didn’t have much time because I needed to pick up my son from school. So it was “prayer on the go.”
