Ankle Sprain Healed

I enjoy trail running. Recently, about one mile into a six mile run, I severely twisted my ankle. The intense pain forced me to stop running for a moment. Thoughts of the damage to my ankle, and how I would get home, flooded my thinking. I decided to not listen to those thoughts. The pain was intense enough that the only Scientific thought I could hold to was that: "There is no sensation in matter" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 237).

I completed my run, though a little slower than I had wanted. The rest of the day, anytime my foot hurt, I reaffirmed that same simple truth. By evening, my ankle had swollen to twice the size of the other ankle. The next day, I woke up with reduced swelling but absolutely no pain in my ankle.

The second day, the swelling was gone and I was able to complete a pain-free six mile run as fast as I had originally planned two day fell from God’s care.

I forgot about the incident, went peacefully to bed, and experienced no discomfort afterward. As we learn more of God’s government of His universe, we experience more of the harmony of His ever-present care.
