Spiritual resource to share: miracles
When I told my friend, a physical therapist, about the time I had been healed of abdominal pains through prayer, she was surprised. “That’s just like magic!” was her immediate response.
But it wasn’t magic. It seemed perfectly natural to me that when we turn to God, expectant and listening, that we find healing. This is the way we dealt with all illnesses and injuries in our family, through Christian Science healing prayer.
Physical healing in Christian Science comes from realizing a law of being – a divine law of being. When applied (that is when it is understood), the body responds.
This is similar to when you have a happy thought, the face smiles. What is in our thought is made manifest in the body. So it is very important that we determine what is in our thought. Prayer aligns our thought to God – an all-powerful force of Love and harmony. Aligning one’s thought with harmony, brings harmonious results.
Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, a system of healing based on Christ Jesus’ works and teachings, explains “Miracle” as that which is divinely natural, but must be learned humanly. She goes on to say that “ these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural.”
