A healing in the middle of the night

I am nine years old, and I had a healing. 

One night, I woke up to a bad pain in my stomach. I went to my parents’ room and woke up my mom to tell her what was wrong. My dad also woke up, and he asked me if I wanted him to pray for me. I said yes. 

After my parents started praying, I decided that I should pray, too. I go to a Christian Science Sunday School, where I learn about God and that God is everywhere, so there’s no place where He isn’t. I always like to remember that by saying a rhyme I learned in Sunday School: “There is no spot where God is not.” 

I also know that I’m surrounded by God’s love and that He created me perfect. There is no room for sickness, since I am perfect and perfectly loved. 

Before I knew it, my stomach felt normal, and I went back to my room feeling calm. I fell back asleep in no time. The next morning, I woke up feeling great! I thanked God and had a great day.
