Following God’s leading brings healing

Alexandra Hawley

A healing I had some years ago came to thought recently, and I’d like to share what I learned from the experience. A few years after I had class instruction in Christian Science, I was challenged with what seemed like severe congestion, a cough, and fever. It seemed serious enough that it kept me in bed, feeling weak and unable to eat much or to keep up with my active life as a young mother, musician, and teacher.

It seemed hard to keep my thought focused, and, instead of feeling inspiration, my prayer felt more like just repeating words. One night when I couldn’t sleep, it came to me to think of just one fact that I knew was true about God’s creation and to hold to that. Well, I could easily grasp that God, who is our all-loving Father, certainly did not create this illness. I just held to that simple truth, which was so powerful. God, who is all-present Love itself, could not create or even know about disease.
