I’d like to share a healing that my dog, Tilley, experienced of an allergic reaction.  It came with a “bonus” healing for me—a greater understanding of God’s divine government, power, and influence.

Over a period of a few days, I noticed Tilley exhibiting symptoms associated with allergic reaction, including skin irritation. I mentally affirmed the truth—that God’s kingdom is harmonious in all seasons. I knew that the symptoms, the material beliefs called “allergic reaction,” were not law to God’s ideas or creation—which included Tilley—and therefore could not touch or influence them. It didn’t matter what the season; Tilley was always safe and unharmed. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy states, “All of God’s creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible” (p. 514).

I was grateful for this correction of thought; however, the original symptoms persisted, and others appeared. I wondered what else I needed to address in prayer.
