Testimonies of Healing

SEVERAL YEARS AGO when I was in college, I noticed a lump forming under my jaw. After awhile I started having a distasteful discharge in my mouth.

WHILE RETURNING HOME from a vacation, I severely twisted my ankle getting off an airport shuttle bus. The ankle swelled dramatically, and I could not walk without intense pain.

My first healing in Christian Science was of the belief that suicide would end the misery I was feeling about the breakup of my marriage and losing my husband to someone else. It felt as if I was surrounded by a wall and unable to get out.

ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, I began experiencing irritation in both of my eyes. Each morning when I awoke, there would be a discharge on my eyelids.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE has blessed my life abundantly, and I am grateful for the many healings both my family and I have experienced. At one time I was married to a United Methodist minister.

ONE MORNING I woke up with pain in my chest. At first I was worried, but I tried not to give the discomfort too much importance.

SOME YEARS AGO , as I was stepping off an open-air elevator called a "paternoster," I fell, jamming my thigh between the floor and the lift. My first thought was "God is here and God is my life.

I BECAME ACQUAINTED with Christian Science when I'd had enough of going to church. I felt that even though I prayed, God didn't give me any answers.

I WAS OUT for my usual morning walk, praying as I went along, when suddenly, I tripped over a large bump in the sidewalk and fell very hard on my side. The first thing that came to me was to say aloud, "God is Life.

CURLED UP IN MY COMFY CHAIR one morning, with my cat, Buster, in my lap, I found myself asking God if He thought I knew how to pray. I really wondered if I was doing it right.
