Deep gratitude to God for the Master, Christ Jesus, and for Mrs. Eddy, inspires me to share this testimony of healing.
Recently I had proof that the power of prayer in Christian Science is practical in an emergency. I fell from a height, landing on one arm. I knew from the moment this happened that I would rely entirely on God for my healing.
There was never any fear that this situation couldn't be met entirely through prayer, but as the pain was intense I called a Christian Science practitioner for aid. We talked about that week's Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly. The subject interestingly enough was "Adam and Fallen Man," and it included this from the Bible (Gen. 1:27): "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him." We realized that matter is powerless to create any condition for man, and that in my real being as God's child I was above and beyond the reach of mortal suggestion. Also, in that lesson was this statement from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 544): "No mortal mind has the might or right or wisdom to create or to destroy. All is under the control of the one Mind, even God."
