Learning to trust God for healing

Originally appeared online in the teen series Your Healings -  October 18, 2022.

For a couple of weeks, one of my ears had been bothering me. This concerned me because I swim a lot and the pain was making it difficult to enjoy my regular practices. I’ve been swimming ever since I was a toddler, and I love it. I’m on my high school swim team and even swim for a club team. 

All my life, I’ve relied on prayer for healing, with good results. So I felt that I should contact a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. I knew that the only way to really deal with the fear and pain I was feeling was through prayer, and I also knew a practitioner would be the right person to help with that.

I knew that the only way to really deal with the fear and pain I was feeling was through prayer.
