Illness yields to child’s prayer
I am humbly grateful for a recent healing that taught me a lot about diligently sticking with it when it comes to relying on Christian Science for healing.
My two small boys and I had experienced lovely healings of flu-like symptoms in a relatively short time. We were soon back in our rightful places at preschool and school, with me at “big school” as a teacher. Within a few days of this healing, however, after a particularly difficult parents’ evening, I returned home and fell into bed, struggling again.
I ended up needing to take the next couple of days off work. During this time I felt impelled to think more about gratitude. I recalled the many times in the Bible where Jesus gave thanks and then overcame lack, illness, or limitation of some kind (for example, his raising of Lazarus from the grave and feeding five thousand people with a few loaves and fish).
