Stomach pain healed
One morning I was dealing with persistent, troubling pain in my stomach. It wasn’t extreme, but it just wasn’t yielding to my prayers. I couldn’t eat, read, or even listen to the Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly. I’d get temporary moments of relief, but mostly I was in bed, mentally flailing about.
I tried several times to give myself Christian Science treatment. It felt as if something in my thought was resisting the truth I was applying, holding on to the pain and refusing to allow progress or healing.
I finally texted a Christian Science practitioner and explained the need. As we began to work together, I continued to feel a strong resistance to Truth. I texted her again and mentioned this. She reminded me with strength and tenderness that there could be nothing in my thinking opposed to goodness or Truth, because I have the Mind of Christ. I immediately felt calm.
