Prayer eliminates intense pain
I wasn’t feeling well one afternoon last year, so I decided to lie down for a while. Within a short time, I was in so much pain that I wasn’t comfortable lying down—or standing up, either. I kept walking around and moaning. My wife came to help me, and at my request she called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me.
I realized that I needed to curtail my moaning, which wasn’t helping me to pray—to think clearly about my relation to God—something that had brought countless healings in the past. I am a lifelong student of Christian Science and have never relied on any other means of healing.
