Healed of anxiety

It dawned on me recently that there had been an undercurrent of anxiety in my life about social events and traveling. It hadn’t occurred to me that I needed to handle it; it seemed to be buried pretty deep. Even though I wanted to be with friends, sometimes I’d become overwhelmed with uncertainty and would cancel plans. I struggled with what I would need: would I be dressed appropriately, have interesting things to say, and would I like the food? What if I forgot something or the weather turned bad? And packing for travel took me forever to finish.

I had a healing of this! As Christian Science nurses we rely on the truth that God meets all needs. Each patient, each shift, each situation is different. We trust and know that God supplies all the ideas and resources to meet the needs. Christian Science blesses the patients, and also blesses the Christian Science nurses. I experienced this blessing. Mary Baker Eddy writes on page 206 in Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures: “In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes, - Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply.”

A few weeks ago, I went to dinner and a performance with friends and realized afterwards I hadn’t felt any stress or pressure. I had fun before, during and after. A few weeks later I traveled to visit family and had no hesitation packing beforehand. On the trip I had everything I needed and had a wonderful time. By putting the truth - that God supplies all needs - to practice on the nursing floor, it quietly changed my thought. I am so grateful for this healing!
