With gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me, I give the following testimony with the hope that it may encourage another who is seeking peace from constant fear.
When I first became interested in Christian Science, I had been having spells of extreme fear, seeming at first to arise from an abnormal fear of disease. However, they gradually became more frequent and I often could give no particular reason for them. Whether during work or recreation, my thought would be filled with an inexplainable dread and fear, and I would become sick and weak all over. I knew I could not, and would not, go on living much longer in that condition, and many times I thought of suicide as the only way out.
I shall always be grateful for the kindness and patience shown me by the practitioner during those dark days. Through her help and the growing understanding of God as Love and of what divine Love really is, these fears were finally overcome. This was not accomplished at once, but over a period of about two years. However, as my spiritual understanding of God became clearer, these fears became less frightening and less frequent, until they completely disappeared.
