Normal bodily function restored

Carol Miller

During my senior year of high school, my body began retaining water. As the year progressed, my clothes no longer fit, and my face would be swollen when I got out of bed in the morning. Still, I was able to maintain my schoolwork and activities.

I was praying as I was taught in the Christian Science Sunday School, and I also had prayerful treatment from Christian Science practitioners at different times. Because the problem persisted, I ended up taking time off from my first year of college to devote more time to prayer.

One day, as I was reading an article in a pamphlet published by The Christian Science Publishing Society, this statement stood out to me: “A mind imbued with love and joy possesses an inherent resilience which enables it to rebound naturally from evil suggestions—even as a rubber ball, forced out of shape, springs naturally back into shape as soon as the outside pressure is removed” (Theodore Wallach, “Is Happiness Beyond Your Reach?” Sentinel, January 20, 1945).
