‘I can rely on God for healing’

Ishita Chopra

I have been attending the Christian Science Sunday School for the last nine years. There I have learned that I can rely on God for healing, and through prayer I have overcome fear in school exams, and have had healings of relationship problems as well as an issue with my eye. I would like to share the healing of my eye, because it gave me more of an understanding of God’s healing power.

One morning when I woke up, my eyes were very irritated. Initially I ignored the discomfort, but soon my left eye became swollen, and a boil appeared next to it.

My grandfather, who is not a Christian Scientist, was concerned about the boil. He took me to an eye specialist, who diagnosed an infection in my eye and prescribed some medicine. I had no desire to take the medicine, because of what I had learned in Sunday School about God’s constant care for me. So I placed it in a cupboard so my grandfather would not feel offended. I wanted to have a permanent healing by relying on prayer.
