Rash healed
Originally published in Portuguese
About a year ago, I began experiencing intense itching in one of my hands. As I scratched it repeatedly, small blisters started to form. They eventually became very large and noticeable, drawing a lot of attention.
I asked a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me. After two weeks the blisters disappeared, but a few days later they returned, even larger than before. A Christian Science nurse guided me about how to bandage my hands.
At no point did I feel afraid. As I prayed with the practitioner, I reflected on what thoughts I needed to correct to experience healing. This Bible passage deeply inspired me: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11). And also this, from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “Whatever guides thought spiritually benefits mind and body” (p. 149).
