I have been a student of Christian Science for many years. It has been my only physician, counselor, comforter, and guide. I have experienced many healings, including that of migraine headaches, and protection from childhood diseases.
One night last year I was in my kitchen before retiring for the night, when I fainted and fell to the floor, hitting my head and injuring my right hand. I was unable to get up, and the closest phone was at the other end of the house. I started dragging myself to reach it, stopping every few feet to rest, and declaring, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13), and praying with this statement from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (p. 494).
I reached the phone in my bedroom and called my daughter. All I could say was, “I need you.” Upon arriving, my daughter and her husband helped me into bed and cleaned me up. My daughter stayed the night with me. In the morning, I contacted a Christian Science practitioner, who agreed to pray for me. He shared many wonderful healing truths, and I felt at peace. In a short time I was able to get out of bed.
