Turning Points in Spiritual Growth July 4, 2016 Issue

A renewed practice

Nancy Earl Harrison

It was through a wonderful healing that I reached a significant turning point in my spiritual growth and recommitted myself to the path of progress defined by Christian Science—the path to wholeness, health, and salvation. The healing helped build the foundation that impelled me to enter the healing practice full time; and now, sharing the universal remedy that is Christian Science is my greatest joy.

I was suffering from symptoms of a repetitive strain injury in my right shoulder, and at times the pain was debilitating. I had dabbled in praying about the condition, but I began to think that there must be a quicker way to relieve my suffering than Christian Science. The severity of the issue seemed to blind me to a lifetime of successful reliance on prayer for healing.

I turned to massage therapy instead and found some comfort, but no true relief. I then turned to chiropractic care and again received only temporary help. On my last visit, the kind doctor told me that my left shoulder was perfect, but shook her head sadly and said, with her hand on my right shoulder, “This shoulder? I can do nothing more for you.”
