A healing at summer camp

Jacob

Last summer I went to America to attend a summer camp for Christian Scientists. While I was there, my throat got swollen during the night, and it really hurt to breathe.

This caused me a bit of worry, but I just kept praying. I have had previous experiences of healing through prayer, which is why I knew I could rely on prayer for help in this case, too. For instance, once I had a healing after I gashed my knee badly. I’ve also read about lots of healings in this magazine.

When I pray, I talk to God truthfully about whatever comes to my thoughts. I also listen for good ideas from God. One night, I had the idea to visit someone. So the next morning, I told my sister what was going on. She suggested I talk to a lovely woman who was the camp mum. This lady was there for comfort and good ideas. She talked to me for a while and asked if I wanted to visit the Christian Science practitioner who was there at the camp and could help me by praying for me. I said yes, and the practitioner and I walked together along the trail by the lake so we could have a talk about what was bothering me.
