Flu symptoms healed

It wasn’t my finest hour—a full week out sick with flu symptoms, flat on my back in bed, unable to sing and thus to work. As the symptoms started to abate, I began to realize how silly it had been for me not to call a Christian Science practitioner earlier; but as the condition had apparently begun to move on anyway, I didn’t bother.

And then the symptoms started all over again. In humility, I called a practitioner and asked her for prayerful support. Within seconds of talking to her, a deep feeling of peace and of being loved settled within me. The cheer, care, and tenderness that the practitioner exhibited washed away the doubt, the guilt, and the self-pity I had been wallowing in. And for the first time since the condition started, I began to allow myself to be receptive to healing.

The week I spent praying with the practitioner did throw out the claim of sickness. But the real healing for me was mental—and infinitely more precious.
