One morning recently, I couldn't do anything that required me to bend over even slightly without severe pain. I began to pray immediately.
I was free of the problem by that night.
Although I didn't know exactly what the difficulty was, I tried to be thorough in giving Christian Science treatment. First, I affirmed that my entire structure was spiritual, never out of alignment. I also reviewed "the scientific statement of being" (see Science and Health, p. 468) and thought about the ideas I found there. In addition, I prayed with passages from that week's Bible Lesson (found in the Christian Science Quarterly). I knew that there was no form or aspect of matter or mortal mind that had any power to harm me in any way.
