Testimonies of Healing

Just recently I had a wonderful healing of my hand. All of a sudden, one of my fingers began to be painful.

One evening , my husband I were having dinner at the home of some dear friends. Just before dinner was served, our hostess informed us that there were some toothpicks in the entree she was serving.

One morning recently , I couldn't do anything that required me to bend over even slightly without severe pain. I began to pray immediately.

For me , one of the most meaningful statements in Science and Health is this one: "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" ( p. 494 ).

This statement of Mary Baker Eddy's has been very important in my life: "We live in an age of Love's divine adventure to be All-in-all" ( The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 158 ).

I've had many proofs of God's loving care in my life. As a child, I was healed of scarlet fever through prayer.

A number of years ago I had a persistent sore throat. I read this in Science and Health: "Disease has no intelligence with which to move itself about or to change itself from one form to another.

I feel deep gratitude for the protection I experienced on a fishing trip. On a winter day, about five o'clock in the afternoon, I asked my friend, a super athlete and inveterate fisherman, to show me the "put and take" section of a certain trout stream.

I had the usual ensign jitters as I looked over the more than 200 men of "my" department. All of them knew more about the procedures, personalities, policies, even the physical layout, of the ship than I did, and I was supposed to be their leader! Despite four and a half years of Navy training, I still felt overwhelmed, so I turned to the method that had always worked for me in the past—I prayed for God's guidance.

Here is one of the many healings that I have experienced. One morning I got up, fixed breakfast for my husband and me, and sat down to eat.
