Healing of eye injury

Vincent Ebulu

While I was removing my pig from a wooden pigsty last summer, a sharp stick smacked my right eye. As I hopped around in extreme pain, I knew that this was a time for a radical prayer. I reasoned that I could decide to go along with the thought that I was suffering from an accident, or with what I knew to be true—that God’s law of harmony governs me (and everyone) every minute of the day.

I knew that I was God’s child. God loves me and cares for me, and I cannot be outside His protecting presence. I sat down and covered the eye with a wet cloth and took a few more minutes to pray for myself. I had noticed that my eye was bloody and swelling, but I remembered what I’d learned from the book Science and Health with Key to Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy about the importance of not being impressed or distracted by what the body is telling us and to listen to what God, divine Truth, is communicating to us about our spiritual origin and perfection.

As I was praying, I remembered this one statement from Science and Health: “Stick to the truth of being in contradistinction to the error that life, substance, or intelligence can be in matter. Plead with an honest conviction of truth and a clear perception of the unchanging, unerring, and certain effect of divine Science. Then, if your fidelity is half equal to the truth of your plea, you will heal the sick” (p. 418).
