“I felt a calm assurance that I was well”

From time to time over the years, I have experienced pain in certain part of my body. One evening a few months ago, I felt the intense pain again. This time I got scared. In praying, I read an editorial by Mr. Phinney, titled “Mind knows how to heal it.”  In part, it reads, “Prayer is not some sort of divinely powered scalpel and needle that must cut and sew the body back into health. Instead, prayer as understood in Christian Science enables us to recognize and come into possession of the health that already exists because God exists.“ As I pondered the statements, I felt a calm assurance that I was well. And it was so. I am very grateful for this healing.
