Testimony of Healing March 24, 2014 Issue

The prayer that meets all needs

Carmen Diaz-Bolton

This testimony was originally published on JSH-Online as part of the “Christian Science Nurse Notes” blog series.

I’m so grateful for my education, training, and ongoing experience as a Christian Science nurse. The basis of the education that a Christian Science nurse receives is found in a By-Law on page 49 of the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy.

First and foremost “a demonstrable knowledge of Christian Science practice” is required. The practice of Christian Science develops one’s ability to listen for and follow God’s direction under all circumstances. Both the patient and the Christian Science nurse are always receptively turning to God to bring about healing and harmony.

Since divine Principle, Love, is always at hand to meet our needs, an absolute, unconditional trust in God is the springboard for the rest of the work that the Christian Science nurse does. The two other Manual requirements, “practical wisdom” and “proper care of the sick,” are the natural outflow of this inspiration. The ability to know and feel the presence, power, intelligence, and activity of God as the law of eternal good with us is a treasure beyond price. It is one I’ve been grateful to develop through Christian Science nursing, and it is open to all through Christian Science.
