Victory over stress and strain at Christmastime

Mimi Lofgren

One day a little over a year ago I awoke with an extreme tightness that spanned my back and under my arm. My first thought was, “What did I do to cause this?” However, I knew from many proofs of healing in Christian Science that wondering about a possible material cause was not a thought from God, whom I understood to be all good, and who created and maintains all of us. So I got up, dressed, and started thinking instead about how praying to feel and know more about God’s goodness would bring healing.

One thought I had seemed harmless: “If I just have a cup of hot chocolate, sit quietly, and think about some spiritual truths, I know I’d be healed.” But I knew that using the hot chocolate and a rest on the couch as a kind of material remedy wasn’t going to get me very far. Spiritual intuition helped me dig deeper to learn something and to grow spiritually.
