Testimonies of Healing

When I was a young teenager, I had many questions about my identity. One night I had a crisis.

A few years ago I was riding on the back of an all-terrain vehicle on snowy and hilly terrain. My son was driving, and he was not very experienced, especially in icy and snowy conditions.

One evening when my husband was out of town, as I rose from a chair, half of my body, including my head, suddenly went limp and tipped to one side. There was no feeling in it.

One winter day last year, I was taking care of some chores and tweaked a muscle in my back. This made it difficult to move, so I immediately began praying about the idea of movement.

In my previous employment, I oversaw the distribution and handling of industrial chemicals in various production facilities and instructed individuals in the plants how to use the chemicals correctly. Normally they were delivered in large containers by semi trucks, then distributed through automated systems, so I would never need to handle the chemicals.

The following two healings took place some years ago when I was in high school, and it’s past time to put them on record in the hope they might be helpful to others. During a junior varsity football game I injured my lower back.

In the Bible, Paul counsels his fellow Christians, then and now, to “pray without ceasing” ( I Thessalonians 5:17 ). This was always puzzling to me.

Despite completing a driver’s education program and receiving a learner’s permit at age sixteen, I didn’t start driving regularly until two years later during my first year of college. I had suffered a persistent feeling of dread and danger at the thought of operating a vehicle on my own, to the extent that I wouldn’t drive unless it was absolutely required of me.

Growing up in Christian Science has allowed me to witness and demonstrate wonderful healings. Relying on God for answers has always been the center of my life, and I am grateful to have seen His work in action.

One night as I was getting ready to go to bed, I suddenly felt very ill. I have no idea what the problem was, but it caused a great deal of discomfort internally.
