Testimonies of Healing

Healing of shingles

From the September 2018 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is with great appreciation that I am sharing this testimony about a complete and permanent healing of shingles through prayer alone. 

One summer, my husband and I were traveling west from Michigan to Colorado, when I began experiencing painful symptoms of a rash on one side of my scalp and forehead. I jumped into the activities we were doing, such as white-water rafting, horseback riding, hiking, and biking, but the discomfort and pain increased.

When the rash spread down around my right eye, my husband, a practicing physician for 41 years, diagnosed the condition as shingles. I asked him to pray with me, and right then he sat down with me to read that week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson. We had attended family camp at a camp for Christian Scientists, and he had been going to some of the Bible Lesson study groups there, where he was welcomed and lovingly included in all the discussions. He had felt a genuine peace and love from the staff and participants, and he willingly joined me in consecrated prayer.
