Symptoms of heart attack healed

Marguerite V. Howmann

In the fall of 2013, the night before my husband and I were due to leave for our annual Christian Science association meeting, I awoke suddenly and found that I could hardly breathe. It also felt as if something was very wrong in my chest. Although I was a lifelong Christian Scientist, I briefly considered dialing 911, but since we learn in Christian Science that sickness is an illusion that needs to be addressed in thought, I saw clearly that being taken to a hospital emergency room would not solve the problem. 

I was used to relying on God for healing and had had many proofs of His care throughout my life, so I was confident I could trust Him to heal this difficulty, too. I knew that God, not a material heart, “is at once the centre and circumference of being,” as Mary Baker Eddy states in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (pp. 203–204).
