Testimony of Healing April 16, 2012 Issue

'Cared for, watched over, beloved and protected'

Kristen Wenrick Strange

Giving written thanks for the following testimony is 20 years overdue. One day, I discovered a lump in my breast. At first I was shocked and then fearful. I finished my workday in this mental state, and when I got home I called a Christian Science practitioner to give me treatment through prayer. We prayed for a few weeks, and the pain, which started shortly after I discovered the lump, faded, but the lump remained. 

During the next couple of years I would think about the lump, but not take the time to really pray about it. Then a few situations in my life came crashing down. I was extremely depressed and everything seemed so dark. I found myself questioning if good was really more powerful than evil as I had been taught in Christian Science, or if it wasn’t the other way around. 

A few days later, I found that I had a painful lump under my arm. This served to wake me up. To be healed in Christian Science, I was going to have to want to live and stop entertaining all these hopeless thoughts. This was quite a challenge.
