Testimonies of Healing

During my nine years as a student of Christian Science, the question has occasionally occurred, "What would I do if for some reason I became unconscious? How would I be able to take care of myself?" The following incident taught me that God, divine Mind, is the source of my consciousness, and that He is an ever-present help. For this reason, I'll never again fear loss of consciousness.

What a heritage—to have been raised in Christian Science! Since my great-great grandmother embraced this spiritual method of healing years ago it has blessed the generations of our family in countless ways. When I learned that I was pregnant for the first time, it was my desire to have a home birth with a certified midwife in attendance and a Christian Science practitioner praying for the harmonious unfoldment of each detail surrounding this precious time.

Christian Science was introduced to our family when I was in my early teens. My first healing through my own prayer was of impaired eyesight.

Several years ago, after my marriage had terminated in divorce, I found Christian Science. Soon I met the man to whom I am now married.

My first healing in Christian Science occurred when I was a senior in high school. I had attended a Christian Science Sunday School for as long as I could remember but never studied Science seriously, nor had I tried to use it.

For me, reading the Christian Science periodicals has always been comparable to receiving letters from a loved one that are filled with encouragement, admonition, correction, and inspiration. These timely messages have so benefited me that I am happy to add my testimony of God's healing power.

Until recently I was a tour guide and traveled by air extensively. On one flight, I had just studied the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly when I felt directed to walk to the rear of the plane.

For many years I have received much encouragement from reading testimonies in the Christian Science Sentinel . These accounts of spiritual healing have convinced me that nothing is impossible with God.

After an automobile accident I became very ill: I lost nearly forty pounds, could neither sleep nor eat, and was in constant, unrelenting pain. As a class-taught Christian Scientist, I never doubted that Science could and would heal me as it always had.
