Back pain healed
I am a Christian Science nurse. Two years ago, for almost two months, I experienced back pain every day after work. I have experienced healing through Christian Science, so it was natural for me to pray about this situation. But there seemed to be no healing.
Then this thought kept coming, which I thought would be the solution: I will ask my coworkers to help by allowing me to work fewer days and with lesser loads. But I was concerned about not being a good team player, as I like to be able to work any time and with everyone.
However, while I was waiting for the right time to share this proposal with my coworkers, another thought kept coming: Are you accepting limitation? I knew I didn’t need to accept the concept of limitation because God’s love for me and everyone is boundless and always available. So I continued to listen, in order to be led by God.
