Persistent pain ends

Ronald Messman

In July 2004, my family and my brother’s family took a vacation together. We brought along bicycles, and my brother and I went on a couple of very strenuous bike rides early in the trip. Some days later, I began to feel pain between my neck and shoulder, which made sleeping difficult.

After we arrived home, my wife and children went off to work at and attend a summer camp, and I remained at home alone. The discomfort I was feeling began to increase to such an extent that I was concerned that I would not be able to resume my work as an elementary school teacher at the end of August.

During this time, I worked at different times with two Christian Science practitioners who had agreed to pray for me. Both of them shared helpful, healing ideas. My wife also supported me prayerfully and called regularly to give me encouragement. I spent many hours a day praying and searching the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, for healing inspiration.
