Eye trouble healed
Some years ago when I was recovering from an illness, my vision became cloudy, and I felt discomfort in my eyes. I assumed the trouble was temporary, so I ignored it. But it went on for several days, until it became difficult to see clearly enough to work or drive. I began to fear for my ability to support my young family, and I considered calling a physician.
My trust in God’s healing power felt uncertain. Though I had been brought up in Christian Science and had always enjoyed reading the Christian Science periodicals, the healings I had experienced through prayer had not seemed impressive to me. I wondered when it was going to be my turn for a really big healing.
Finally, I decided to call a Christian Science practitioner for Christian Science treatment. She assured me she would be happy to pray for me. After we talked, the fear began to fade away. Nothing had changed physically, but having put my case in God’s hands, I felt relieved and sat back to wait for the healing to take place.
