Last year I began having some pain in a hip joint. It worsened until I felt nauseated. I was accustomed to taking daily walks over rough paths with fallen trees to step over. So as I continued to walk I gave myself Christian Science treatment. There was much improvement, but still not complete healing, so I asked God to reveal to me what I needed to include in my treatment. The answer came clearly: "Give up painful thinking."
Continuing to walk, I made an effort to let go of some resentment I had felt justified in holding about a neighbor. Next, I dropped some painful thinking about a relative who had taken action intended to hurt me and another loved one. Once I accepted that God was unfolding His thoughts to them, too, I could let go of human efforts at setting things right. Now I saw marked improvement, but more was needed to have complete freedom. I asked God again, and listened again, and the answer was "Give up painful thinking about yourself."
Within minutes I began to
have freedom in my moving
that I had not had for weeks.
