Testimony of Healing January 27, 2014 ISSUE

Wrapped in God's love

Kim Hedge

Adapted from a testimony originally read during an online Wednesday testimony meeting of The Mother Church: ChristianScience.com/Wednesdays.

I recently experienced proof that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalms 46:1 ). While visiting family, I was making a pot of soup. My brother-in-law was helping me, as I needed to puree the hot soup in the blender and then pour it back into the pot. However, instead of simply picking up the blender off its base, I accidentally unscrewed it from its bottom, and the full blender of steaming hot soup poured out over my hand.

“Hot! Hot! Hot!” I yelled. Soup was everywhere, and my hand felt like it was on fire. It was hard to keep the tears from coming. I left the mess with my brother-in-law, who graciously began cleaning it up, and I went to the living room to pray. I have had many healings through prayer and rely on God as an effective help in times of trouble. I began praying with “the scientific statement of being” found in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (Mary Baker Eddy, p. 468 ) but could not concentrate because of the pain.
