In my work as a Christian Science practitioner, I’ve found that individuals calling for help often feel that the task of healing in Christian Science is just too big for them—thinking they just don’t know enough, or aren’t good enough—and they’ve become discouraged. My heart goes out to them, and it’s wonderful to see how helped they are when it is gently explained that Christian Science healing isn’t something the human mind needs to become an expert at—that the task of healing isn’t too big for God; it’s a matter of letting God work in them to reveal their natural goodness and to bring healing where it is needed.
