Injured wrist restored

From the July 2019 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Something appeared to go terribly wrong between the moment I lunged after the ball in a tennis match and when I came to my senses on the ground. My friends helped me up and asked if I was all right. I told them I was, though I was actually feeling a great deal of pain in my chest and a wrist.

I spent a few moments gathering my thoughts and affirming a spiritual fact that has supported me during many personal trials: that as God’s perfect child, I can never be separated from Him or outside of His control. This calmed my fear, and as the fear dissipated, so did some of the discomfort. 

In an effort to allay any concerns my partners might have had, I finished the match. Then I left for home so I could pray for myself and contact a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me too.
