Testimonies of Healing

Hand injuries healed

From the February 2016 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My husband and I moved into a new house several years ago, and on the day before Thanksgiving, I was unpacking. As I stood on a countertop, reaching to a cabinet near the ceiling, a glass fell. I reached down in an attempt to stop it from hitting the countertop, but I was too late, and my hand grasped glass that had already shattered. My hand was cut in a number of places, and it seemed one finger had been seriously injured.

I turned my thought to God and immediately felt His presence and love. I also felt a great sense of peace, as I knew that through prayer based on spiritual laws, the Science of Christ, Truth, I could witness divine Love’s healing power evidenced in this situation.

I wrapped my hand in a towel, called my husband at work, and asked him to call a Christian Science nurse to come to our house. Meanwhile, I called a Christian Science practitioner and asked her to pray for me. Together, the practitioner and I affirmed God’s presence and care of His children. We were grateful to know with certainty and joy that no aspect of my spiritual identity, as the image and likeness of God, divine Love, could be severed or injured. How could a broken glass cut off any aspect of my forever being? Nothing could separate any part of me from God, divine Life and Love.
