God takes good care of us!

Hello! I want to tell you about a healing through prayer that I had two years ago. In school, I started having a very high fever. My teacher was worried and wanted to take me to the hospital. The school principal called my parents, but both their phones were shut off, and he could not reach them.

So I was allowed to stay in school for a while. I didn’t want to be taken to the hospital, and at first the principal thought I was scared of needles, or of being left alone. But I told him I’m a student in the Christian Science Sunday School and my family is used to praying when we are sick. I know that God is Love. His infinite presence is always with me. God created me perfect and healthy. I told the principal that God is the best physician there is and that I trust Him completely.

My teacher brought me to a quiet room and stayed with me. I laid my head down on a desk.

When my mom came to pick me up, I was singing a little prayer that I’d made up: “God is good to me, God is good to me, He sustains me and holds my hand, God is good to me because He is Love.” My mom reassured everyone that I would be well cared for. She told them that God surrounds all His children with His tenderness and nothing bad can happen to us in God’s care.

Mom brought me home, carrying me on her back since I did not feel up to walking on my own. On our way home, we sang together Hymn 207 , from the Christian Science Hymnal. The words of this hymn are by Mary Baker Eddy, and it starts like this: “O gentle presence, peace and joy and power.”

When we were close to home, I asked Mom if I could walk on my own. She thought that I might be ashamed to be carried. But, in fact, I was feeling much better. When I got home, I rested a while. Then I played for the rest of the evening because I had no fever and no headache any more.

The next day, I went back to school. Everyone was surprised to see me laugh and play as if nothing had happened. I am very grateful to our Father-Mother God, who takes such good care of us!
