Ankle injury healed

Shelly Richardson

I am so grateful for the immediate help I recently received through prayer and Christian Science treatment. I had spent all day walking in a large city, and at the end of the day I needed to take a bus to another large city. Upon arriving in this other city, I was planning to walk to a friend’s house.

During the day, I sustained an injury to my ankle, which caused considerable discomfort. When I got on the bus for the two-hour ride, I was in great pain and couldn’t put any weight on my foot.

However, I was so grateful to be a Christian Scientist because I knew I could pray and expect healing. I started thinking about God’s goodness. I felt in awe that each one of us always has access to God’s goodness and to healing insights from God. We are in reality God’s image and likeness, and if we are only willing to recognize our true life in Spirit, then we can begin to recognize God’s infinite goodness, which is far better and more reliable than we might imagine it to be.
