Testimonies of Healing

One Wednesday evening several years ago, I gave a testimony at my local Christian Science branch church. I discussed how our thought can be healed about the past and thus painful memories can be eliminated and stop reoccurring in our thoughts.

As I started to rise from a sitting position, I felt an excruciating pain in my lower back and almost collapsed on the floor. Sheer human willpower got me to the bed in my hotel room to lie down.

Many years ago , I was asked to take on the duties of Second Reader at my Christian Science Society, but for as long as I could remember any activity that required speaking in public had been fraught with anxiety for me. Even as a child, something as simple as talking to a store clerk or responding to a teacher’s question had been difficult.

This author thought that maybe with time, she would be healed. When she shifted her thinking to a more spiritual view of herself, she was healed.

My husband planned to attend a high school reunion out of state with numerous events scheduled over a handful of days. A few days before, I decided to accompany him and help with the long drive.

The author recognized that he had to stop ruminating on problems and fully turn his thought to God, good.

I was twelve years old sitting in a Christian Science Sunday School when I realized that God was infinite, divine Love who created us in His image and likeness, and not some superhero up in the clouds randomly deciding how to interact with His children. Once I had that awakening, I looked at human life differently.

The events on the ninth day of December 2020 shall forever remain a treasured memory. I was traveling from Nyeri to my hometown of Karatina in a public service vehicle when it was involved in a serious collision with a lorry that was moving in the opposite direction.

It is now time for me to share a physical healing and a healing related to church that occurred many years ago. I had just returned from a wonderful, long overseas trip.

Several years ago my husband and I were traveling and I became ill with a severe respiratory condition. I prayed, simply affirming what I have learned in my study of Christian Science—that God, good, is all, and there is nothing besides Him.
