God does the healing and we are the channels through which the recognition of it comes. True prayer is the understanding that, as God’s children, we must have always possessed every good thing, and the ability to make it manifest. Error cannot use manifest mortal mind or body to perpetuate itself, or to depict its images of fear. It is not Christian or scientific to speak of your strength returning slowly, for God Almighty is your strength, and God has never been absent. You know this, and are perfectly active now, well now, strong now. Mary Baker Eddy (Oakes, Richard, Essays and Bible Lessons, (Red Book), p.82)
