Q: I have been a practicing Christian Scientist for more than 40 years. More than three years ago, I began having a troubling problem with my health. I was unable to overcome it through my own prayers, so I have been calling Christian Science practitioners ever since. But I have not found a practitioner able to put an end to the problem—one proven “equal to bringing out the result of the Principle that he knows to be true” (Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 41). Why can’t I find anyone to help me? —A reader in California, US
A: Congratulations! More than 40 years practicing Christian Science, living the Christly life Jesus exemplified.
There must have been many healings along the way: each one, an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the healing Science Jesus taught and demonstrated and to learn more about God’s unfailing love. This love maintains each one of us as we are—God’s expression of Himself—in our natural state of health, happiness, and holiness.
