Many years ago, when I first became a student of Christian Science, I spent many hours studying the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, listening for God’s guidance. Once as I was deep in study, though, I felt suddenly unwell. I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful treatment.
It was revealed to me during this call that something I’d done wasn’t in line with what I’d been assimilating from my studies. One of my children had come to my office door asking for something, and I had purposely not responded. In fact, I’d felt annoyed at being disturbed. It was almost like this: “Don’t bother me. I’m busy learning about God!” Ha! Well, I could see how that was not a healthy attitude.
So I did indeed learn something that day, but not in the way I had thought. By the end of my call with the practitioner, I was perfectly free of the discomfort.
