“My stomach felt as good as new”

James

One Day When I was playing outside, riding my bike near a golf course, my stomach started hurting. I got off my bike and lay down on the grass. I got very still.

After I closed my eyes, I thought of some God-thoughts that I had learned in Christian Science Sunday School. I thought about how God is with me, so nothing bad can get to me. And nothing can stop me from doing good, because I am God’s good and perfect child.

Praying these thoughts was like thinking of being in a beautiful, peaceful place, and it made me happy. And then my stomach felt as good as new.
I biked and had fun. The end.
