Child’s bed-wetting stops

Fenna Corry with contributions from Bronwyn Corry Tucker

“I’ve tried everything!” our daughter told me, frustrated that none of the approaches she was using to deal with my granddaughter’s nightly bed-wetting had been effective. I responded, “Have you tried praying about this?”

I was confident that Christian Science could heal the problem, and I began praying for guidance. A hymn by Samuel Longfellow reminds us of God’s ever-present care, beginning, “I look to Thee in every need, / And never look in vain” (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 134). Every need! I was confident that this need, too, could be met.

I gave prayerful consideration to the word control, and was reminded of this statement in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “Neither organic inaction nor overaction is beyond God’s control; . . .” (p. 125). I also thought about another hymn that mentions (referring to God as divine Love) “Love’s sweet control” (Margaret Glenn Matters, Hymnal, No. 221, © CSBD).
