Over three years ago I began to experience aggressive internal pain every few weeks. Most of the time I would be awakened by this discomfort in the middle of the night.
My husband, who is a Christian Science practitioner, would pray for me, and I often found relief. Sometimes it was necessary to be more steadfast in prayer until the pain subsided. Frequently these attacks left me weak and unable to eat for a day or so. I also became concerned about the specific foods I ate, which had never been an issue before.
I began to dread going to sleep for fear of being awakened. So I began to pray more consistently before I went to bed to know that God, Mind, was giving me my thoughts and that these were the only thoughts I could have—whether I was asleep or awake. I prayed to know that my safety was untouchable in the infinite omnipresence of Love’s law, where there was nothing going on but God’s goodness. I prayed to know that because Love is infinite, and that there was nothing beyond this infinitude, then only the goodness of Love could be manifested in me, and there was no evil and no channel for evil to harm me or anyone else.
