Cold symptoms gone

For years, I had accepted having colds almost as an annual event. However, over the years I have experienced fewer colds, which I attribute to devoted study of the Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly as well as other Christian Science publications. It is my practice to read them prior to leaving the house each morning. This study includes prayer for myself and the world community. 

One morning before work, the symptoms of a cold had begun to appear. I prayed and was happy that I was able to fulfill my commitment at the office. The next morning things had not improved, so I committed myself to praying until I felt free of the illness. 

I stayed with my studies until I felt a gentle divine message that I was free and could walk out of this “dream” of illness. I could see this as a dream because of what I knew of God and His children—me, and everyone. God knows His children only as pure and perfect. Anything contrary to this is not of God’s making, and therefore, not of spiritual reality.
