Testimonies of Healing

Although I was raised in a Christian Scientist family, I don't think I really understood the true significance of this Science until I began to understand God as Love. When I first married I felt my mother-in-law was quite pushy.

The first Christian Science healing our family experienced was my healing of fever when I was a little girl. I attended Christian Science Sunday School right through high school and into college.

A few years ago, my husband and I were sitting on our patio eating dinner, when I felt a sharp pain in my foot. I had apparently been stung by a yellow jacket (a variety of wasp).

There have been more healings in my life than I can remember—most of them were not particularly dramatic, although each one was very important to me at the time it occurred. Nothing is more welcome than a need being met.

As a child, I attended a Christian Science Sunday School, feeling that there was something very important being taught there. A neighborhood friend was invited to go with me.

A healing a few years ago meant a lot to me because its significance reached far beyond simply removing physical pain. I had had terrible pains in my stomach off and on for some years.

Several months ago, Ben, the older of my two children, began having great difficulty breathing. He had been exhibiting flu-like symptoms the previous two days, and I had been praying for him.

A long-standing physical challenge is healed as the author learns to "allow [his] metaphysical prayer to operate and remove the clouds of false belief."

As a young girl, I had many problems with my teeth. When I was seventeen a front tooth became abscessed.

I am so deeply grateful to have been taught God's healing power from a very young age, and to have had the opportunity to attend a Christian Science Sunday School. When I was eight years old, I had an experience that made the healing power of God especially clear to me.
