Cold quickly overcome

From the December 2000 issue of The Christian Science Journal


One morning I felt as though I was coming down with a cold or the flu. I immediately prayed, and declared that I could not be subject to sickness because I was God's perfect child.

I was completely free from the symptoms.

The night before, I'd seen a fast-paced action film that vividly depicted an invading virus. Now, in my prayers it seemed very important to affirm the fact that it was not possible for God's spiritual creation, maintained by Him, to be invaded or influenced (the base of the word "influenza"), by illness.
