Testimonies of Healing

At one time my employer ordered a sizable "key man" life insurance policy for me, and I had to take a physical examination in connection with it. About a week later I was told there was a problem: the physician had found that I had a heart murmur.

One day when I was ten we were in the gym at school playing soccer. I was the goalie.

Once shortly after Christmas I experienced great discomfort in my abdomen and had several very painful nights. For many years I have had a retail job that has kept me on my feet all day, and after the holiday rush I was tempted to believe I had overdone things, thus bringing on this condition.

I have always appreciated active membership in a Christian Science branch church and the spiritual discipline of working with other church members, learning to be more patient and tolerant. At times when sickness has threatened to overwhelm me, the desire to be at a particular post in church has impelled me to pray more fervently and trust God more earnestly; healing has then occurred in time for me to fulfill my duty.

I am truly grateful to have been raised to know Christian Science. Glimpses of God's great love for us all, and of His ever-presence and power, have blessed and sustained me in my studies, career, health, and relations with others.

I woke one night in great discomfort with a gastrointestinal illness. After a difficult night, I found little improvement in the morning.

This healing happened on a Sunday morning as we were getting ready for church. While I was in another room, my wife put Kyle in his walker.

A Christian Scientist all my life, I have had many healings and seen many in my family. But I have never witnessed the power of prayer so clearly as I did one day when our son Kyle was seven months old.

I had the best training possible in my field, and had done well in school. But when I married I consciously chose to put a formal career aside in order to raise a family.

As a child growing up in a Christian Scientist family, I had many healings through the prayers of my parents and my own innocent understanding of the truth. Contagious diseases, severe cuts, and in one case a severed finger, were all healed through reliance on God alone.
