Testimonies of Healing

Verification of Healings

These healings are verified by people who can vouch for the testifier or who know of the healing. Examples of Christian healing from individuals and families around the world have been published in the Christian Science periodicals for well over 125 years.

Healed of injuries from a fall

I have been a student of Christian Science for many years. It has been my only physician, counselor, comforter, and guide.

Christmas Gift of Healing

At one time, a blemish that had appeared on one of my index fingers became an open sore and caused noticeable swelling. Initially I prayed about the situation on my own, but when my entire hand became swollen, I decided to call a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me.

True sense of Christmas brings healing

This author felt separate from the joy that the Christmas season brings. When she began to ponder the meaning of Christmas in a new light, she experienced healing.

Severe chest pains overcome

Having been a Christian Scientist since I was thirteen years old, I have been accustomed to the idea of God being supreme. A few years ago, as I was reading the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly in a time of need, this concept of supremacy asserted itself in my thought.

Forgiveness heals anger

Last year at Christmastime, I awoke one morning feeling very ill with flu-like symptoms. As the day progressed, though, it was filled with wonderful expressions of love, gratitude, and healing for my family.

Pain in lungs gone

During the summer of 2020, my boyfriend and I swam around Mercer Island, Washington, in one- to two-mile segments. It was a joyful endeavor as we spent many sunny days together and progressed in feeling more and more comfortable in the water.

Two meaningful healings

For some time, I would wake up at night with sharp pains in my lower abdomen, a phenomenon that worried me more and more. My regular readings of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, which is the textbook of Christian Science, comforted me, but the pain seemed to persist and even get worse.

Prayer heals grief

I am profoundly grateful to relate a healing of grief that came only five days after my first husband passed. At first, I had felt deeply shocked and confused.

Miscarriage averted

This year, my mother, daughter, and I are reading together Mary Baker Eddy’s primary text on Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, cover to cover, sharing our inspiration via Zoom. It is a lovely reminder of the healing I had a couple of decades ago.

Protected from explosion

One warm summer day at our home in the desert, we were preparing for a swimming party for my son. But first, according to our usual pattern, the children and I sat down and read the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly.
