Eye problem gone

Susie Jostyn

I’m grateful for a healing I had in college. Every once in a while, my eyes would get blurry and tired. I was concerned about my eyes getting worse. 

I didn’t consider myself a dedicated Christian Scientist at that point, but I did know I could turn to God, and that, through reading and contemplating ideas from the Bible as well as Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, I could find healing. So I decided that instead of waiting until the eye issue became a significant problem, one that perhaps would require some sort of medical attention, I’d pray about it.

Based on what the Bible and Science and Health taught me, I began to think about how God’s creation is spiritual, and that when we look at something, we aren’t really looking at a physical thing with physical eyes, we’re actually perceiving a spiritual idea of God. Of course it doesn’t appear that way on the surface, but that’s the spiritual fact which underlies our existence. And, there’s so much good in God’s creation for us to see! As I became more aware of that sweet, safe, uninterrupted, spiritual concept, I became less fearful about my eyes.
