Prayer that shines a healing light

One morning many years ago, shortly after I arrived at my job as a sales clerk in a department store, I began to feel unwell. The news media had announced that flu season was upon us and had been describing the symptoms in graphic detail. Some of my coworkers were out sick, and others were reporting back to work with lingering coughs.

Since sales were slow in the china and bridal registry department where I worked, the manager decided we would spend the day dusting and reorganizing stock. “Cheers,” I muttered to myself as I eyed the many shelves of dishes and glassware. I already felt exhausted. But having experienced healings in Christian Science, I knew I could find relief through prayer.
