Quick healing of injured fingers

Anthea Shillington

I would like to express gratitude for a healing I had last year. I inadvertently closed the trunk of my car on two fingers. With much pulling, I got one finger out, but my longest finger seemed absolutely stuck and would not come out.

I looked around, but there was nobody to help me. I could rely only on God for help as I had in previous situations. I prayerfully paused, and decided to just yank and pull my finger out as best I could. I was in much pain, clenched my fist, and got into my car. I did not examine my fingers because I didn’t want to focus my thought on the material evidence.

I used my other hand and phoned my husband, saying that I really needed some help. I told him what had happened and that I needed him to pray. He said that there are no accidents in God’s kingdom and also that there is not a single element of error in man (see Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 424, 463).
