Swift healing of illness

Barbara J. Presler

I have had many experiences throughout my life where I felt God communicating His-Her healing truth to me. One such experience took place one summer when I was a college student, working as an intern at The Christian Science Publishing Society. This was a while ago, but the lessons have stuck with me.

I loved my internship—going to the office in the morning was usually a matter of joyfully sprinting there. However, one morning at work, I felt so ill as I sat at my desk that I told my supervisor I needed to leave the room.

I found a private spot in the building, leaned against a door, and began praying to see myself as the child of God, perfect and whole. That week in Christian Science Sunday School, we had discussed that man expresses God’s radiant qualities. It seemed incongruous to me that the offspring of divine Life, reflecting God, could have a sudden or acute—or any kind of—disease, and I denied that illness could be any part of my identity. Rather, my being is spiritual and pure. And reflecting and expressing God is my true and primary job.
