Debilitating pain gone
About a year and a half ago, I found myself in extreme, debilitating pain. Mary Baker Eddy’s provision for church was my support during this time and provided the help and spiritual truth I needed to completely overcome this challenge.
I’ve had many healings in my life as a student of Christian Science, as has my son. These healings included freedom from a painful abscess, stomachaches, influenza, severe illness involving a jaundiced appearance, and many others. I have come to rely on Christian Science for healing and the peace it provides in turning to God; thus, I didn’t consider another approach.
During this particular experience, which ended up lasting for several days, there were times when I could not think clearly because of the pain, and asked a Christian Science practitioner for treatment through prayer. There were moments when the pain abated and I felt a bit better. But when I was unable to sleep or find relief, the practitioner was available at any time to pray with me and for me.
