Normal movement in arm restored

Ruth Merry Outland

In 2005 I fell while ice skating, badly injuring my right arm. It was obvious that there was breakage at the elbow. There was also extreme bruising and swelling, and I wasn’t able to move my arm in a normal manner. The rink manager said they would call an ambulance to take me directly to a hospital, but, turning in thought to what I knew about God’s unfailing care for all His children, I felt I could decline that offer. I knew I needed to do something, so I asked God to show me the way to go.

My first stop was a Christian Science nursing facility, where a Christian Science nurse gently fitted me with a sling. She tenderly reminded me that often the biggest obstacle to overcome in seeking a healing in such cases is fear. After this, I continued to pray, working to better understand my inseparability from God. I asked a Christian Science practitioner to support me prayerfully. I worked diligently with the practitioner to fully realize my ongoing and unbroken relationship to God.
