Prayer Heals Painful Leg

From Sharon Anderson 🌷

Recently, one night I woke up to pain in my leg that was so extreme and lasted all night that I became fearful. In fact so much so that I couldn’t even think of one simple spiritual truth.

When I got up the next morning, I still had pain and when I walked, my leg would collapse. I dug into the lesson and kept with it all day. That night when I went to bed and was saying my prayers, I was thinking about the definition of God as given in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, page 587, where she states, “God. The Great I Am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence.” When I came to God as all-acting, I stopped and gave myself a Christian Science treatment. I reasoned that if God is all-acting and I’m God’s reflection, I too am all-acting. Nothing could stop that action.

The next day I was in tears because of the discomfort and I thought I would have to use crutches and to just give up on a healing; that my leg was never going to be better and I would have to live with the pain. As soon as that thought came, another thought appeared, saying “And then what?” Immediately, I said out loud with conviction, “I will never give up on having a complete healing.” (And I never did get crutches.) I studied the Bible Lesson and kept in my thought of God’s all-action.

Then the next day the idea came to me to look up all the hymns with the word “walk” in them. I not only looked them up, I sang them all.

The following day I had 4 contacts with people and although none of them knew of my struggle, they expressed so much love to me. During one conversation, one of the people mentioned the book, “Healing Spiritually.” I haven’t read that book for several years so I took it to bed with me that night and read for a couple of hours.

That night I was so embraced in God’s pure love to those 4 people (the love both directed to me and radiating from me), I completely forgot about my leg. I believe the healing occurred at that moment. However, it wasn’t until the next morning that I realized I had experienced a complete healing. No more pain, no limping, only strength was evident. I felt so much happiness and joy. And I give love and gratitude to God, my Father-Mother for this healing.
