Healing of stiff and painful knees

Alice Moseley

For several years, I hadn’t been able to squat down or kneel on the floor because my knees and muscles were too stiff. Or, if I could kneel on one knee or both, I couldn’t stay down because my knees would be painful. Then, I couldn’t get myself up without someone’s help. During this time, I couldn’t kneel at the end of the Christian Science Communion service on Sacrament Sunday. I cherished this activity, and I knew I could demonstrate the freedom that would allow me to participate.

Communion services in Churches of Christ, Scientist, happen twice a year, so between them I prayed and treated this issue through Christian Science, but I didn’t seem able to make much progress. However, at an annual meeting on the practice of Christian Science healing, I heard an address on being “divinely driven” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 152). I reasserted with fresh inspiration my desire to be healed of this lack of uninhibited movement.
