Course correction brings healing

Katie Martin

I lost my tennis serve one day—seemingly out of nowhere. I’ve played tennis competitively for years, and all of a sudden I couldn’t serve well. At the same time I was also suffering from some aggravating shoulder pain.

As a Christian Scientist, I start the day by studying the Christian Science Bible Lesson and praying. These prayers always include myself, my family, my neighbors, fellow church members, community members, and the world at large. I try to be good, honest, loving, and unselfish. And last, but certainly not least, I make sure to give thanks to God for all His blessings, big and small.

When the tennis difficulties started, I also prayed about the things I thought might be contributing to the pain in my shoulder. In the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, I looked up references to age, injury, and weakness.
