Testimonies of Healing
“Mortal mind is the worst foe of the body, while divine Mind is its best friend,” wrote Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, on page 176 in her seminal work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Several years ago, I was privileged to experience that this is true and that divine Mind is not only our best friend but also our healer.
About a year ago, I fell on hard tile. A few days later, I began to sense what I thought might be some broken ribs.
No disease is big enough to have any power because God is the only power.
Several years ago I started working for a bank, and most of my job required working on a computer. I was fascinated by it and bought a computer for myself to use at home.
In the book of Psalms in the Bible, it says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” ( 103:2 ). With a grateful heart, I would like to bear witness to God’s goodness.
In late autumn, a few years ago, I went for a bicycle ride in Central Park in New York City. On my second lap around the park, a pedestrian unexpectedly darted between the bicyclists and runners, colliding with my bike.
Years ago, after I became engaged while on a summer holiday with my boyfriend and his family, I began suffering with symptoms of deep congestion in the lungs. I brushed this aside as just a common cold, but by Christmas, when I was visiting my parents, my dad expressed concern about the wrenching, hacking sound of my cough and other frightening symptoms.
Years ago, I wore glasses because I had vision problems, including depth perception, tunnel vision, and crossed eyes. When I decided to treat this condition through Christian Science, I didn’t pray to make the material condition of my eyes better, but tried to better understand my spiritual sense of vision and its purpose.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I prayed daily with a Christian Science practitioner to prepare myself for the child’s arrival. This served me well on many occasions.
As a young man, I was hired to sing the solo on Sundays at a Christian Science church. Within a few weeks it was clear to me that this practical religion of divine Love was exactly what I wanted to pursue.
