After our summer vacation a year ago, my husband and I were driving back to New York City. Just as we turned off the highway to get gas, there was a sudden sharp pain in my chest, and I felt I was losing consciousness and physical mobility.

Understanding that we are inseparable from God is a trustworthy remedy when we need immediate help. The Bible is full of accounts and prayers that teach us of God’s constant presence, and of His dauntless love and power to overcome evil with good—as we read in Psalm 139: “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

One of the first things I remember being taught as a young girl growing up in Christian Science was to know the truth of my being as a child of God, and to turn to this truth whenever there was a need for healing.   Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science, writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: “Man is harmonious when governed by Soul.
