Testimonies of Healing

One evening over a year ago, I walked to my car at night after visiting friends. In the darkened area where I parked, I tripped over a parking block, which caused me to stumble forward and fall forcefully into the fender of my car.

One night last year while I was working at a Christian Science nursing facility, my stomach began to hurt. When the pain got worse, I knew I needed to diligently turn to God in prayer or I wouldn’t be able to perform the duties assigned to me.

One day years ago I became unconscious and was taken to a hospital. The medical staff told my family that severe blood poisoning was the problem and that I would most certainly be dead within 24 hours, as they had no way to save me.

About six years ago I was bitten on my legs by three dogs. It was summer, and I’d been wearing shorts.

This author was healed when he realized that suffering isn’t ever an effect of doing good work. He stuck to what he knew about himself as God’s expression—God as good, divine Love.

One day in October of 2019 I was struck with intense pain. I believed the symptoms indicated kidney stones, as they closely matched a friend’s description of bouts she’d had with that condition.

 Some quiet moments in the grocery store brought this author healing and a lasting feeling of spiritual progress and peace.

For many years I suffered with severe stomach and digestion issues. At one point, when I was about fifteen, I chose to have surgery to relieve the symptoms, but it did not help.

Although I had experienced healing after reading parts of the Manual of The Mother Church and also parts of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, both by Mary Baker Eddy, and although I was aware of Mrs. Eddy’s focus on spiritual healing, I had never become a church member because I was never convinced that I really understood Christian Science.

A few months after I began to study Christian Science, my youngest child became ill with a high fever and an alarming skin condition all over his body. I did everything a mother would to best care for her child in such circumstances, and I made the boy as comfortable as possible.
