Testimonies of Healing

This author stopped trying to find the cause for the pain she was experiencing, and instead better understood God as the sole cause.

It is with immense gratitude to God that I write this testimony that proved to me, once again, that God is the only lawmaker and the only power. Some years ago, while I was pregnant with our second child, my husband and I chose to deliver the baby at a hospital.

With all the talk on the news recently about contagion, I was reminded of a beautiful healing our family witnessed in our home many years ago when I was operating a licensed group child day care for 12 children.   One morning very early, one of my grade school daughters came down and showed me that she had spots all over her body and said her throat was sore.

I was at a small museum when I became nauseated and short of breath and felt pain in my chest area. I might have had a sense of urgency if I had accepted my condition as life-threatening, but I knew I could quietly consider what the ever-presence of a loving Father-Mother God meant for me and that this would bring healing.

In high school, I was an accomplished competitive swimmer, a pompom girl, and a good student. From the outside it appeared I had it all: success and popularity, and I seemed comfortable in my own skin.

The author increasingly discovered her God-given peace and dominion.

One evening last winter I came home from work with a headache. Instead of addressing the problem through prayer in Christian Science, I decided to just ignore the discomfort until it went away.

The author worked to deny any sense of contamination and continued knowing "that spiritual sense could never be dulled or despoiled" until she experienced healing.

When I read the testimonies in the January 2020 issue of this magazine, I realized it was time to share my own landmark healing.   About five years ago, a small growth appeared on the center of my forehead.

In the book of Acts, we read that “a certain man lame from his mother’s womb” was placed at the temple gate every day so he could spend the day begging worshipers for small gifts (see 3:1–11 ). Jesus’ disciples Peter and John were on their way for an hour of prayer when he asked them for a donation.
