Insect sting quickly healed
Originally published in French
I was stung on my face by a deer fly and felt a sharp pain. I prayed, acknowledging that the universe is created by God—that it is spiritual and under the unerring government of the divine Mind, which is entirely good and cannot cause harm.
The next morning the pain was gone, but I looked like a pumpkin. I called a Christian Science practitioner to help me understand my spiritual identity, so I could overcome the error, or false belief, of being vulnerable to injury.
The practitioner answered immediately. I was in Canada and felt far from home, but knowing my need was heard was a relief. I felt within me all the love of divine Love’s presence.
