I played football in college. During a scrimmage, I apparently broke my ankle. I couldn’t walk and my foot was at a ninety-degree angle from its normal position. Instead of having it set by a medical doctor, I called a Christian Science Practitioner to pray with me for healing. The practitioner pointed out to me this statement from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by MaryBaker Eddy:
“The divine Science of man is woven into one web of consistency without seam or rent.”
Ten or twenty minutes after speaking with the practitioner,
as I quietly contemplated this truth about my spiritual identity, I felt
movement in my ankle. I looked and saw
that it had returned to its normal position.
I used crutches to get around for about a week and within two weeks I
returned to practice with the team. After about a month, I
continued to play football and not only did I not have any further problems
with this ankle, but the ankle was actually stronger than it had ever been
before.
You can find healing ideas for yourself in Eddy's book. Read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures online, purchase it from any major book seller, or read, borrow or buy a copy at a Christian Science Reading Room. The Reading Room in Evergreen, Colorado is located at 4602 Plettner Lane.
