Grateful for God’s quick help
A quick but significant healing prompts me not to delay any further in sharing this testimony and my gratitude for Christian Science.
Early last year, as I sat in my living room after work, I suddenly became aware of intermittent sharp pains in my stomach. They rapidly grew more intense and frightening. I declared that God is All and that He created everything good, as stated in the first chapter of Genesis: “God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (verse 31). However, mentally staying with this spiritual truth required serious effort as the pains intensified.
A few salient points filled my thought, such as that a healing outcome for this situation was sure, as whatever limiting thoughts I held about myself were replaced by what God knew about me. Some of those limiting thoughts included, “I’m not sure I’m capable of overcoming this through prayer because the pain is so distracting” and “What if my thought isn’t always in the place I know it should be, and I don’t deserve help?” But I knew these thoughts had no basis in spiritual truth. Only what God, Spirit, knows is true, and He was knowing me right then as spiritual and perfect, made in His image and likeness.
