Healing of a urinary problem

Nicolas Mupepe Lata

First published in the French edition of The Herald of Christian Science, Le Héraut de la Science Chrétienne.

I have seen, throughout the many challenges that I have experienced, that Christian Science is always able to come to our aid if we trust it completely.

In November 2010, when I had to step in for the First Reader of our branch church, who was going on a trip, I was wrestling with a severe urinary problem.

In fact, on the Tuesday following the departure of our First Reader, I began to feel discomfort in the lower abdomen, and when I had to urinate, I found it extremely difficult to do so. It was very painful. As a student of Christian Science, I told myself that I had to close the door to this pain, because I knew that it was nothing but a mistake about my true self, knocking at the door of my consciousness, and that I must reject it immediately. Then I thought of a passage that I love in Science and Health: “When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious—as Life eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not” (p. 495).
