Internal strain healed
In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy informs readers, “... a just acknowledgment of Truth and of what it has done for us is an effectual help” (p. 372). And in the reminiscence of one of her students, Janette E. Weller, we learn that Mrs. Eddy counseled her to “always give credit to Truth” (We Knew Mary Baker Eddy, Expanded Edition, Volume II, p. 45). In that spirit, I share this testimony.
One morning about a year and a half ago, I was attempting to lift a heavy urn in our garden that had toppled during the night. As I did, I felt an internal tear, or strain. What came to mind was someone I had worked with many years ago who apparently had a similar injury. My primary job was to assist this man, a foreman on a construction crew, and I’d been told he was suffering from the effects of an operation he had undergone to repair such an internal condition.
As a student of Christian Science, I knew prayer was a reliable health-care option. Here’s how the path to healing and freedom unfolded for me.
