Freed from anxiety and insomnia
I was writing my final high school exams when I suddenly started suffering from severe insomnia and constant anxiety.
Feeling sorely in need of knowing how to pray about this, I opened at random my copy of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I had often read of people opening to a page in their Bible or in Science and Health and finding something there that guided their prayers for healing.
When I looked down at the page I’d opened to, my eyes rested on the following statement: “. . . you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is” (p. 275). I tried valiantly to do this.
