Last Christmas my family planned a special gathering at my brother’s house in Alabama. The night before we were supposed to leave, I started to feel ill. I knew that if I tackled this problem with prayer, I would be healed. So, when I didn’t feel better the next day, frankly I was disappointed.
I continued to pray on the drive down to Alabama and still expected healing. During our visit I enjoyed listening to all the fun activities, but I was unable to join in them for the first two days we were there. By Sunday, when everyone else left for church, I stayed in bed. I asked a practitioner for Christian Science treatment, and I spent that morning mentally battling this sickness.
I had encountered so many quick healings in the past by facing down similar challenges with spiritual truths that I knew I would be healed. Just the year before, a high fever and flu-like symptoms dissolved within a single morning through prayer, right before I was due to get on a plane.
