I’ve had a number of quick healings of claims of pain by working with this thought from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy: “Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and immortality” (261:2–4). One Sunday morning, I woke up with pain in my wrist. I sort of assumed it would go away, but instead it increased as the day went on, to the point that I was unable to pour tea. That evening, during a long car ride, I cradled my wrist and found myself wondering why it was hurting. Of course, this was not a helpful or spiritual approach.

The next morning, when my wrist continued to hurt, I began to pray in earnest – what I should have done initially! I had wanted to wash the floor and do other cleaning that involved my wrist that day, and I thought that if this was a right idea, I would be able to do it. And I was! I was completely free from the pain and was able to share this healing that Wednesday at my branch church’s testimony meeting. After I spoke, another member gave a testimony that mentioned being “willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (II Cor. 5:8). I feel that this is what happened with my healing – thank you, God!
