Testimony of Healing

Severe eczema healed

From the October 2026 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My first and most significant healing in Christian Science was of chronic eczema almost two decades ago. The condition began as a rash which rapidly spread to most of my body, causing great discomfort. While relatively new in my understanding of Christian Science, I felt sufficiently confident that I could rely on its teachings to find healing. However, the healing called for persistence in prayer.

When the symptoms first appeared, I read countless articles and testimonies of healing in the Christian Science Sentinel and Journal, and sought inspiration from them, but to no avail. 

In fact, I recall the condition worsened. I sought the skilled help of a Christian Science nurse a few times to keep the areas I couldn’t reach clean. I also called a Christian Science practitioner for treatment through prayer, as fear was overshadowing my capacity to pray for myself.
