Exhaustion and cold symptoms healed
Last February, I spent quite a bit of time praying about my “right place” and spiritual identity. One evening, while I wrestled with the question of what was my will and what was God’s will, I experienced exhaustion like I’d never felt before. There have been times in the past when I have been so tired I couldn’t function (usually because of taking on too many commitments at once), but this was different: All my energy just drained from me, to the point that I was worried I was going to pass on. All I wanted was to lie down.
I stuck with prayer, though, and was extremely grateful for the loving support of a Christian Science practitioner during the evening. She prayed diligently with me to see that I couldn’t be separate from God. Angel messages broke through the fear, and I went to bed that night feeling uplifted and peaceful. The sense of exhaustion lifted completely over the next few days as I continued praying.
I was scheduled to make a trip out to Colorado several days later to help out with a special winter Bible study being held at a camp for Christian Scientists. But I was still dealing with fear associated with the exhaustion, as well as severe cold symptoms I’d been struggling with for more than a week prior. Nevertheless, I felt my motives were pure in wanting to help out with this event, and that because of this, I could expect a quick and complete healing.
