It was moving day, and I had been looking forward to getting settled in our brand-new home. That morning I awoke to find that my menstrual period had become abnormally heavy. Within a couple of hours, it was apparent that I was hemorrhaging. There was so much to do, and I didn’t feel I could sit on the sidelines to pray and let my husband handle everything else.
Having relied on Christian Science for healing all my life, I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. When I described my condition, he calmly reassured me that I was in no danger and that Truth stops the flow of false belief in human consciousness and experience. Truth is a Bible-based synonym for God.
He recommended that I acknowledge God’s absolute loving control over me and recognize that because I am God’s image and likeness (see Genesis 1:26, 27), my every function is under His control.
