In my early 20s I noticed that my vision had started to deteriorate. It didn’t interfere too much with my regular activities, so I didn’t treat it in Christian Science. As time went on, however, my vision gradually continued to get worse. I prayed about it, but only whenever it was time to get my driver’s license renewed.
At each renewal period, however, I became more and more anxious that I would not pass the vision test. More than this, though, what I truly wanted was to see through the lens of Spirit.
Then, I unexpectedly moved to another state. I knew I’d have to get a new driver’s license, but kept putting it off and making excuses. When I learned that new residents should get a new license after just one month of having moved, I panicked. I had lived in my new state for four months already but had been afraid of not passing the vision test. Finally, I contacted a Christian Science practitioner to pray about this with me.
