Head wound healed

Beverly Larson

Last August, I fell full force on my face on the concrete outside a clinic where my husband was getting a checkup. I may have been momentarily unconscious, as I remember falling but don’t remember hitting the ground. I had a deep cut on my forehead, but immediately told those standing around me that I was OK. Instead of looking at the injury, I decided to reach out to God in prayer and cling to the truth of my spiritual identity.

A nurse who took me inside said that the cut was deep and wouldn’t stop bleeding without stitches, but I declined and told her I was going to call a Christian Science practitioner, which I did. The nurse also predicted that I would have a headache. But this never happened, and the intermittent bleeding stopped that evening. If I had had stitches, I would have come away from the clinic with a stitched wound and nothing more. Instead, the wound healed quickly as a result of the practitioner’s prayerful treatment and my own prayers. I also gained a deeper sense of man’s real identity as one with God, made in His image, as the Scriptures declare.
