Lump disappears through prayer
Some years ago I was posted to Copenhagen, Denmark, with my job. I had found a local Church of Christ, Scientist, at the end of my street, and I was happily living in Copenhagen.
One day I noticed that there was a lump in one of my breasts. I was initially shocked and wondered what I should do. I then felt that I should pray. I started out by completely denying that anything like a lump could be acknowledged as real in my thinking. I was extremely adamant about this and mentally challenged the thought with a very strong and determined response. I said to myself, “I do not have to accept this picture of myself.” I knew that my true identity is the perfect child of God. I then felt that I could listen to God guiding me so that I could know how to continue in resolving this issue.
