Healed of food poisoning

Jay Frost

A couple of years ago my wife and I embarked on a grand adventure to Peru. As we were preparing for the trip, we encountered many warnings about travelers getting food poisoning after eating the local food. Having had some experience with food poisoning, I committed to praying about this illness on the way to Peru and throughout our travels.

About a week into the trip, however, I became comfortable with the local cuisine and gradually stopped praying for protection as readily as I had been. Around that time we were making the journey to Machu Picchu, and after eating some new meals along the way, I began to feel unsettled, and became quite ill. At this point it was the night before we were to awake early and see the ruins, but it didn’t appear I was going to be well enough to go.

Lying in the hotel room, I earnestly prayed. As a starting point, I used my favorite descriptor for God: absolute. I lifted my thought and affirmed that God is changeless, eternal, and everlasting—that He is also omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. I affirmed that God is good itself, meaning that goodness is all-powerful and fills all space, and there is in reality nothing but goodness everywhere. Anything that appears to conflict with goodness, with divine harmony, is unreal and an illusion. I remembered what I had learned about God being Mind and there being only one Mind, and that this divine Mind is the only real communicator to each one of us. God is constantly sending gentle angel thoughts that remind us of our divine rights and our eternal and present status as the complete reflection of God.
