Cancer Healed Through Prayer

My son’s father was not a Christian Scientist, and did not attend our church, although he was very respectful of it, and agreed to have our son attend a Christian Science Sunday School regularly. One day, during the height of the busy season in advertising for me, my husband told me that he had been visiting a hospital and had seen doctors. Numerous tests had been done, and he had been diagnosed with cancer, with a medical prediction that he would live only a few months. He asked me to pray for him. When I suggested that he call a Christian Science practitioner, he explained that he didn’t feel comfortable with that approach, although he had seen it work for me.

Although in shock at first, I told him that I would pray. I first had to correct my thinking, as I was already feeling overwhelmed with a demanding full-time job and the care of our toddler son. I realized that there is nothing hidden that would not be revealed. All is known to God, the All-knowing. All that can be revealed is perfection. I turned to hymn 370, “We are hid with Christ forever, in the Father’s holy plan.” A lie about God’s creation is nameless, nothing. There is not an atom of Truth in any lie, of any type, sort, or description, whether big, small, or in-between. Like Jesus’ words (John 8:32), “Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free,” I just had to know that God’s harmony was the only thing to know. I declared God’s love and care for us all, and that matter can make no conditions for us because matter is not cause. Spirit is Creator. I lost all concern, feeling assured that Life is and will be everlasting. That’s the true Scientific prediction.

Within a few weeks, my husband reported that a lump (which had been diagnosed as cancer) had fallen off. He gratefully gave Christian Science the full credit for his healing. My great gratitude to God for giving us the Holy Bible and “Science and Health” written by Mary Baker Eddy to lift us out of darkness and propel us into the Light. I’m incredibly thankful for the Plainfield Church’s many in-depth spiritual articles and Bible studies on their website, which dedicated church workers make available.
