Christian Science Sentinel

"Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?" (Mal. 2:10). Read how the author's deeper understanding of God as the Father-Mother of all mankind brought healing and peace.

Whatever today may bring, prayer can make it better.

One day, I just stopped functioning. I didn’t want to live anymore. I ended up in a lockdown mental ward, where I was given lots of medication daily. I turned to God in prayer and worked my way out of this depression and am completely off any medication.

I suffered from pain down the back of my legs that was diagnosed as sciatica. The doctor said it would be best if I could learn to live with the pain. The diagnosis scared me. I certainly didn’t want to live with the pain! I was a relatively new student of Christian Science, and the next day I decided it was time to get serious about addressing this problem through Christian Science.

Shortly before I became a serious student of Christian Science, I was medically diagnosed with bipolar disorder, commonly described as manic depression. I was left with virtually no treatment options. Or so I thought. Christian Science healed me.

The author's desire for a deeper understanding of God led to her study of Christian Science and healing of cancer.

I'd had a very strong Christian upbringing, and I had been taught about God and the Bible from the time I was a child. But it wasn't until my study of Christian Science that I was healed of chronic invalidism.
