Back injury and irritating rash healed

Donald L. Smith

One time I was asked when I became a Christian Scientist, and I said when I was about twenty years old. However, I was actually raised in the Christian Science Sunday School. During my childhood and Sunday School years, I experienced healing in Christian Science mainly through the prayers of my devoted parents and Christian Science practitioners. But while you could say I was always an avid fan of Christian Science, it wasn’t until I turned twenty that I became a more studious follower and began to practice Christian Science in my own life.

This happened when I experienced healing of a painful back injury that occurred while I was working with a trail crew in a wilderness area in the Rocky Mountains. I couldn’t call someone to pray for me because in that place in those days there was no communication with the outside world. So my own prayers, as well as the Bible’s admonition to “acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace” (Job 22:21), became vital and meaningful to me. I mark that experience as the time I became a practicing student of Christian Science.

During the years since, I’ve experienced many other proofs of the protecting, healing, and sustaining power of Christian Science.
