Testimonies of Healing

I was suddenly forced to drop everything in my well-ordered life. I'd begun to experience a debilitating internal condition, and it was affecting my legs, stomach, and bowels.

When I woke up one morning last April and discovered that I had almost no strength in the main quadriceps muscle in my right leg, my first thought was that I'd had a stroke. It was difficult to stand or walk, and it was especially challenging to negotiate stairs.

I AM 93 YEARS OLD, and I live alone. Last spring, I fell in the bathroom of my apartment and was unable to get up.

I HAD TRAVELED 500 MILES to San Diego to visit my best friend from high school. The first night I was there, we were robbed as we left a restaurant.

ONE OF MY EYES had become quite sensitive to light and very painful to move, and it had reached the point where I was unable to read, watch television, or drive. I tried wearing a patch to shield the eye from light and to prevent movement, but it didn't help much.

I experienced chest pains periodically when I was in college. Not only was the condition painful, but it limited my physical activities.

I woke up in the middle of the night with great pain in my lower back. After I called a Christian Science practitioner, who agreed to pray with me, the pain subsided right away.

I was preparing a cup of tea in my house at boarding school when I accidentally spilled boiling water all over my hand. I instinctively prayed, because ever since I was little, I had trusted prayer for physical relief.

I was headed up a mountain on a ski lift with a friend. Before we reached the top, I decided that I would wait for my friend to get off first.

I had gone to an aerobics class, and apparently pulled a muscle in my chest. At the time, I didn't feel anything.
