Running injury healed
Over a year ago, I injured my knee during my evening run. I had been making noticeable progress in running, and was very grateful for that—then the injury seemed to come out of nowhere. However, I felt confident that praying in the way I’ve been taught in Christian Science would heal my knee.
I learned years ago in Christian Science Sunday School and in my home experience that I could have wonderful healings if I applied Christian Science to any situation. But when this problem did not improve through my own prayers, I called a Christian Science practitioner.
She directed me to a passage in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. It reads: “Departing from Christian Science, some learners commend diet and hygiene. They even practise these, intending thereby to initiate the cure which they mean to complete with Mind, as if the non-intelligent could aid Mind!” (p. 457).
