Our daughter’s freedom
Our three-year-old daughter was happily dancing with her babysitter in the other room, when all of a sudden, she began to cry and came to me for comfort. She told me that her hand hurt and she couldn’t move it. I held her in my lap and silently prayed for her, then I talked with her about her goodness and safety and how much God loved her. I carried her to the couch, and she lay down for a nap.
This was Saturday evening, and I was scheduled to serve as Second Reader at church the following morning. My husband and I would of course give our daughter the best care, but we also knew that no erroneous suggestion could keep me from serving God. I had been deeply studying the Christian Science Bible Lesson all week to prepare for the Sunday service, and I felt as though I was on the mountaintop. I trusted that we could fully address this situation through prayer.
