Persistent prayer heals back pain

Annette Dutenhoffer

Some healings come quickly, others take some persistence. Several years ago in early October, our church was moving into a new location, and for several days I helped out with some heavy lifting. Afterward, my back hurt and I had trouble doing anything without pain. Getting a good night’s sleep was difficult.

Off and on over the next several months, I would ask a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me when I felt as though I was at a standstill in my prayers for myself. This always brought some relief, and a lot of hope, but I wasn’t completely free. I don’t remember specifically all the metaphysical truths that kept me going during that time, but I was able to fulfill my duties at church and home, which I attribute to the sustaining power of all the prayer that was going on.
