Painful, swollen mouth healed
Earlier this year I was experiencing a very painful condition with my mouth and lips. Discomfort and inflammation made it difficult to eat or drink. I decided to handle this head-on through Christian Science.
I declared that God is omnipresent and that I could never be outside His loving and tender care. I knew there could be no pain in God, good, and therefore no pain in me, God’s spiritual reflection. I was encouraged by this statement by Mary Baker Eddy: “Have no fear that matter can ache, swell, and be inflamed as the result of a law of any kind, when it is self-evident that matter can have no pain nor inflammation” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 393).
