One night, I awoke feeling intense pain in one arm. There was no way I could just turn over and go back to sleep. So I turned to two things I knew well—the Lord's Prayer from the Bible and the spiritual sense of it explained in Science and Health.See Science and Health, pp. 16-17 . I began praying:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God,
all-harmonious, . . .
I saw that when my thoughts were with God, or "in heaven," there couldn't be any painful friction between one element, mental or physical, and another. As the image of God, who is Spirit, I was constituted of spiritual qualities, which work together harmoniously.
