He indicated that my vision could be deteriorating, and that he would want me to see an eye specialist.

I left the doctor’s office feeling shaken and frightened. I decided to go ahead and make an appointment for the repeat test, but I also contacted a Christian Science practitioner for metaphysical support. The practitioner lovingly agreed to pray for me, and she asked me to study and pray with two specific citations.

The other was from page 428 of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “To divest thought of false trusts and material evidences in order that the spiritual facts of being may appear,—this is the great attainment by means of which we shall sweep away the false and give place to the true.”
