The pain vanished

Grace

My sister and I were at my Grammy and Grampy’s house while my mom was out shopping. The four of us were having lots of fun. But that afternoon I began to feel ill, and my ear was really hurting. I felt a little scared.

Grammy and I went to rest and pray. I knew that nothing could hurt me, because a beautiful thought came to me that I had learned in the Christian Science Sunday School: There is no spot where God is not. This helped me feel less scared, but the pain was continuing to get worse.

Soon my mom came home, and we called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me, too. I kept praying to know that pain is not the truth about me because God made me perfect and keeps me perfect. So nothing could ever harm me or make me unwell. I knew that I am really spiritual, so I must be safe.
