Testimonies of Healing

All my life I’ve relied on Christian Science for healing. I’ve consistently found Christian Science to be utterly reliable, effective, and health-giving.

With the Los Angeles Marathon taking place in March, it’s timely for me to express my gratitude for a unique opportunity I had to grow in my understanding of God. I took to heart Mary Baker Eddy’s statement, “The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible” ( Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures , p.

I would like to share with you a healing I had in 2011. I went to Paris to visit my family with a friend who is not a Christian Scientist.

As a teenager, I experienced painful menstrual cramps. Sometimes the pain was debilitating, and I would dread the monthly cycle.

One day, 15 years ago, while I was working as a seamstress at a friend’s house, the sewing machine’s threaded needle was driven into my left thumbnail, catching my finger under the machine’s darning foot. The puncture was not very deep, but I felt a stabbing pain.

Three and a half years ago I began to have frequent pain in my abdomen. I prayed about it for several weeks, but the discomfort persisted.
