The Psalmist sang of God (Ps. 40:2), "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings." This has been my experience, too.
Five years ago I lay for over three months incapacitated by vertigo, or dizziness. I was given X-ray examinations, put on a rigid diet, and offered the choice of two operations, both admittedly doubtful and dangerous. When I asked if there was nothing I could do to avoid them, the doctor's reply was, "I only wish I knew."
The hope held out by Christian Science came to my wife and to me, and I was taken to visit a practitioner. He referred me to the twenty-seventh verse of the first chapter of Genesis and to Mary Baker Eddy's definition of God on page 465 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." After many other clarifying explanations and a reminder to study "the scientific statement of being" (ibid., p. 468), he said: "Know what God is, and claim your inheritance as His likeness. I will be helping you."
