Is Christian Science healing a lot of work?
John Biggs
Q: Dealing with a problem through Christian Science seems like so much work. Why go to the effort to have a healing when you can just solve things in an easier way?
A: It was the middle of the night when I woke up feeling sick. Only half-conscious and in pain, I began praying for myself as I have many times in the past—often with quick results. But this time, hours and hours had passed and I was still struggling. I found myself thinking, Why is this taking so much work? Why can’t I have a quick healing?
