Testimony of Healing

Truth removes what needs removing

From the December 2026 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I’d love to share a profound healing that has meant so much to me. Over a year ago, a large and uncomfortable bump appeared on my inner thumb. My first thought was that it had resulted from my puppy accidentally biting my finger when we had been playing several months earlier. I had prayed about that bite at the time and considered it healed. But now, in the same spot, this large bump had suddenly appeared. 

I was led to pray with the idea that nothing could fasten itself to an idea of God. As Christian Science teaches, I knew that I was a pure idea of God, expressing all right ideas, and that nothing foreign could attach itself to what God had made. 

Several weeks went by, and I continued to hold strongly to the idea that I was entirely spiritual and that I could trust God to take care of the situation.
