Not long ago, an itchy, burning condition between the toes and on the bottom of one of my feet made walking and sleeping nearly impossible. During this time, I was receiving treatment through prayer from a Christian Science practitioner.
Although there were brief periods of time when the discomfort would ease, it would flare up again. I held to the idea that the healing truths of Christian Science, which had helped me so much in the past, could never fail. Included in my prayer was the conviction that nothing could cause me to be distracted from my work, which is to pray daily for myself and others. I was grateful for all the good that had come to me, and I was especially grateful for the tender support and encouragement of my husband, who is a Christian Science nurse, and for the loving and efficient way that he cared for my needs.
I reasoned, doesn't God cherish and maintain all that is important to His creation? . . . The pain stopped at once.
