Injured leg healed
In September 2015, the car I was driving was hit in front of the driver’s door by a large pickup truck. I was taken to the hospital, where X-rays showed that no bones were broken. However, my left thighbone was deeply bruised, and the doctor said it would take about three months to heal.
During the following months, I occasionally prayed for healing, but mostly just waited for the bruise and discomfort to go away. But more than two years later that thigh was still painful, especially when I lay on my left side.
One night at work, I noticed that my thigh was hurting in an unfamiliar way, which motivated me to pray about the situation. The next morning, while sitting in church, listening to the prelude music and praying, I received an insight. I envisioned the accident happening and then thought, “Was the law of God not in effect at that moment?” Of course, that couldn’t be possible, because there is never a moment when the law of God, the law of harmony, is not operating and sovereign. Therefore, what appeared to have been an accident—a moment when the law of good was not working—was merely an illusion, a mirage, and I could not be hurt by something that had no reality.
