God was telling me the way

Alex told his healing to his dad, who helped him write it down so he could share it with us.

Alex says …

Here’s a healing from a cruise with my family. One night, my dad took my two brothers, my sister, and me to the arcade. Then I got lost and I couldn’t find anybody. I thought my family went back to the cabin. I went to the elevator to go find the cabin. I was afraid because I was alone, but I knew God was with me, even when I was walking to the elevator. That made me feel better. I knew where to go because I had my room card on a strap around my neck, and the key had our room number.

I got off the elevator at the second deck; God showed me how to find the cabin. I was thinking about the part of a hymn I sing in Sunday School that says, “Shepherd, show me how to go” (Mary Baker Eddy, “ ‘Feed My Sheep,’ ” Christian Science Hymnal, No. 304). But nobody was in the cabin, so I took off my shoes and lay down. Some scary thoughts tried to make me afraid, but I knew God loved me so much. I really felt that.
