Spiritual healing: More than just a cure

From the May 2004 issue of The Christian Science Journal


What if you've fallen and you think you might have sprained something — possibly broken a bone? You're in a lot of pain. What do you do next?

Prayer may not be the first solution most people think of, but for me prayer is a practical, effective way of dealing with everything from life's uncertainties to troubled relationships to accidents — and even illness.

Over the years I've relied on God for healing. And I've found Him to be always available, always reliable — a caring Physician whose medicine is actually life changing, effecting more than just a cure. This life-changing effect is really important to me — more important, actually, than the resolution of the difficulty I'm facing, whether it's a physical condition or a disagreement with a neighbor. I'm not saying I don't want to feel comfortable — especially if I'm in pain. But while I'm grateful for the healing, the lasting benefits really come from the new view I've gained of myself and relation to God.
