Testimonies of Healing

After returning from military service in the Korean War, I was given a clean bill of health at my final physical examination before being discharged from the Army. Within a few weeks, I had to change a tire on my car on a little-used desert road.

Migraine headaches that had begun in my early teens continued to occur when I was a young adult. The headaches became more intense.

For me it was very difficult to find a path to God—to the full understanding of what He really is, and of man as His son. In my country there are several prominent religious denominations with very different interpretations of the Bible; however, they all see man as a mortal sinner.

Several months ago, as I was getting ready to attend a meeting in New York, I began to experience difficulty with my teeth and gums. One side of the cheek was swollen, and it was impossible for me to eat.

For a year after the passing of my husband, I had been daily praying for God's direction. I needed to learn how to listen quietly, as I wanted to let go of my overwhelming need to outline and direct my future and to heal my sense of loss.

Recently it was time for me to renew my driver's license. For some years my license had restrictions because of impaired vision that had resulted from an accident.

My husband was not a Christian Scientist, so he felt that if the children were not healed quickly, he would take them to a doctor. I always turned to God immediately in time of need.

" Crack , crack, crack"—day and night for two weeks the ceramic tiles of my apartment's floor were coming unglued. Only the year before, the same problem had forced me to have part of the floor redone.

After graduating from college I developed small growths around the fingernail of one finger. They did not bother me, and so I did nothing about them.

Some years ago, I was troubled from time to time by a physical condition in which one of my legs would become very swollen and the skin irritated, my stomach would get upset, and I would be subject to weariness and restricted mobility. These occurrences were not very frequent, but were quite distressing.
