Fever symptoms and stomach cramps healed
I would like to share a quick healing of a fever and stomach cramps, which I experienced a couple of months ago, and which meant so much to me.
One day I found myself having chills, severe stomach cramps, nausea, and an inability to eat or drink. I was quite concerned as the very next day I had an important commitment. We were also expecting our grandchildren; they were coming to spend the weekend with us, and we were very much looking forward to this precious time with them.
I decided to call my Christian Science teacher, who has always been a tremendous help to me, and ask her to pray for me. When I told her that the physical symptoms were screaming loudly, she replied, “We are not going to listen to that, but to the ‘still small voice.’ ” In that week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson there was the story of the prophet Elijah who observed “a great and strong wind,” an earthquake, and a fire (see First Kings 19:11, 12). But Elijah learned that “the Lord” was not in the wind, earthquake, or fire. Instead, what he heard after these things was “a still small voice.”
