The media frequently advertises remedies for the symptoms of an overactive bladder, claiming this is a common problem for certain segments of the population. A little over a year ago I began experiencing these symptoms and found myself both needing to visit the restroom more frequently than normal during the day and getting up at night.
I had attended a Christian Science Sunday School as a child and had always relied on prayer for healing. I knew that spiritual healing is possible, not only of financial and interpersonal problems but also of physical ills. In fact, a decade ago I was healed through Christian Science treatment of a disease medically diagnosed as incurable.
In praying about this belief of overactivity, I recognized from the beginning that it was a lie about God’s creation, a suggestion of the material senses that we are mortal with a body that can decay and malfunction. The world is presenting that imperfect model to us continually. But I reminded myself over and over again that God, omnipotent and omnipresent divine Love, governs every function of the body.
