Attention Deficit Syndrome Healed
Our daughter was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Syndrome. School authorities told us that constant medication might help with the symptoms, but there was no cure.
We asked a practitioner from Plainfield Church for prayerful help. God’s tender, constant care was abundantly shown to us. It was pointed out that the child was badly spoiled, seldom obeyed when spoken to, and expressed no love to anyone. This error had opened the door for this affliction. We were asked if we were willing to help her express the Godlike qualities of obedience and love, at all times. We agreed to do so. We began to “see her as God’s child, made in His image and likeness, obedient to the Mind that made her.” She had become quite headstrong, and used to doing things in her own time. The practitioner told us to establish principle in our home, to tell her that we were doing our best to obey God and she must, too.
I needed to learn to handle the false beliefs of motherhood. I declared that God created her, and she belonged to Him. Once I was able to see that God made her, I could separate the error from her, and love her as a child of God. A great deal of love, patience and kindness was shown to us by the practitioner.
This year, she was placed in a regular classroom, at our insistence. The Learning Specialist and psychologist told us that she would never be able to keep up with the other students. But, the practitioner prayed and we did our best to apply the truths the practitioner was teaching us. It is with tears in my eyes that I tell about her report card at the end of this year. She received A- in reading, all B’s and one C+ in Social Studies. She is now a calm, poised and loving girl.
It’s wonderful to see the healing of something that so many authorities told us was impossible. Truly, with God all things are possible.
