When A Large tumor grew on the side of our golden Labrador's jaw, my family and I turned to God for healing.
Through our study of Christian Science, we had learned that disease is not a fixed fact. It is a lie about God's creation that can be vanquished with spiritual truth. Our prayer was to see that God, not disease, was in control of our dog's health.
We turned to Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy for ideas on how to pray effectively for our dog, and found this statement: "Blot out the images of mortal thought and its beliefs in sickness and sin." Science and Health, p. 391. The tumor was an ugly image of mortal thought. It would hide God's perfect love and care for His creation. It needed to be blotted out of our thinking so we could see clearly the spiritual truth that heals.
