Testimonies of Healing

Healed of incontinence

From the December 2017 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A few years ago I began having difficulty with incontinence. At the same time, I was going through a rather difficult period winding down the affairs of a prior business, which included protracted litigation. My life felt very chaotic. 

I prayed halfheartedly about the physical problem, but for about six months, I was more complacent than insistent that this difficulty was not true about God’s perfect, spiritual child. Then it was time for my daughter to start her junior year of college. I had promised myself and her that I would look forward to a peaceful trip bringing her to college and settling her into her dorm. The incontinence was a concern, however, as it hampered my ability to move about freely outside of the house.

The problem became even more aggressive when we arrived at my daughter’s dorm. It got to the point where I could not easily function for any period of time. I realized that I needed to be vigorous in my prayerful efforts to handle this, and to not accept what I knew through my study of Christian Science to be a blatant lie about my God-given control, harmony, purity, and perfection.
