With heartfelt gratitude to God, I wish...

From the October 1972 issue of The Christian Science Journal


With heartfelt gratitude to God, I wish to testify to an instance of the overcoming of the lie of lies, the belief of death. I have been a student of Christian Science for many years and have always turned to its teachings for help, and on numerous occasions I have received awakening thoughts, which have brought about healing results.

Over a year ago I became suddenly ill, and bodily suffering seemed beyond endurance. In fact, during the climax of this sad condition I cried out to God for His help, and soon afterwards an idea came to me with such force it was like someone shouting in my ears the following words, "We cannot deny that Life is self-sustained." I recognized these as being words of Mrs. Eddy's, but did not know where they were from.

This message kept repeating itself with such command until I realized that it was the answer to the lie of death which was trying to assert itself to me. Immediately I awakened to this message and truly accepted it in my thinking. Then the awful mist commenced to disperse and all sense of fear vanished, leaving me with thoughts of past healings I had received through understanding prayer to God and my fidelity to Truth.
