Healing of painful neck
For weeks my neck had been very painful. Nothing had occurred physically to cause pain, as far as I could tell. But I couldn’t turn my head from side to side, tilt my head back, or get much sleep. I’d been praying daily about this, but there hadn’t been much improvement.
However, I continued with my prayers, seeking a better understanding of my uninterrupted oneness with my Father-Mother God. Christian Science teaches that man, made in God’s likeness, reflects God, Spirit, as a perfect, complete, healthy spiritual idea. This truth is based on the Bible, as is the fact that God is good. The one, completely good God couldn’t cause anything unlike good, so in reality, I couldn’t manifest anything unlike good, such as sickness or pain.
As God’s cherished child, I was cared for and safe in my Father’s infinite love. And since pain was unknown to God, Truth, it was not real and thus couldn’t be part of me. I continued to claim my present perfection, and I also asked God to reveal to me what I needed to know.
