How can I show my friends that Christian Science is “for real”?
Q: Sometimes I feel awkward because I’m a Christian Scientist, and it seems like everyone is watching me when I’m working on a healing to see if Christian Science really is “for real.” I’m not sure how to get past that feeling.
A: Oh, I hear you!
I was feeling that way not too long ago when my eye became puffy and swollen, and it was hard to see. I was praying about it, but I knew I was going to be around other people that day and didn’t want them to think about my eye or ask me what I was doing about it. That’s when it starts to get awkward, right? Relying on prayer for healing is a foreign concept to a lot of people, and I didn’t want to have to explain myself.
