Prayer healed my stomach trouble
This testimony was originally written in French and published in the February 2014 French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish editions of The Christian Science Herald.
Here is what happened in March last year. A couple of times during the week, I had stomach trouble. But each time it happened I soon felt better, and I could go to school. I was even able to eat my favorite dish, “pondu” (cassava leaves).
But one Sunday morning, when I arrived in Sunday School, the problem came back again. I told my teacher that I could not help her put the hymn numbers on the wall because I did not feel well. Then I had to go to the restroom. The teacher told me: “God loves you. God takes care of you!” I knew she was praying for all the children in the Sunday School. And my mom was praying for me, too.
Until then, I had not prayed to be healed. I thought about what the teacher had told me, and I exclaimed: “No! God cannot be sick, so I cannot be sick because I reflect God!” Then I joined in all the activities of Sunday School because I felt fine. I thanked God for hearing my prayer. Afterward, I went to see my mom, and I told her, “Mom, I feel great!” For lunch, I ate a lot. My stomach has been fine since. I can eat everything without any problems.
I have learned that I cannot be sick because God is Love, and I am spiritual. I like to learn things about God. I want to learn everything about God since it makes me feel happy!
