Testimonies of Healing

From the August 1962 issue of The Christian Science Journal


At a time when I was very ill I prayed to God and asked Him to preserve my life for the sake of our three young children. I was suffering from many physical difficulties for which I had taken various medicines and had had different injections. My condition had grown worse, and I was near a nervous breakdown. In addition I was suffering from heart trouble and was unable to sleep.

One night I was so very fearful that in my distress I folded my hands in prayer with the earnest desire that the Lord would help me. My cry was heard, for the next morning, just when I thought I would have to go to the hospital, a Christian Scientist came to see us and talked to me about God's great goodness to His children. I listened attentively and was restored to good health. I turned to the literature with joy and read everything on Christian Science I could get hold of. Later on, I began a daily early morning study of the Lesson-Sermon, provided in the Christian Science Quarterly.

Since then about ten years have passed, and in our family we have experienced many proofs of God's care. Among others, we have had healing of bronchitis, fever, grippe, a skin eruption, warts, cuts, inflammation, bruises, burns, earache, and toothache. Also, a very crooked tooth became straight.
