PRAYING AND KEEPING THE FAITH

Today, I go to my 6 month battery of tests to make sure that the cancer is still gone. I lean on my faith and pray that all will be well. My prayers are not only for myself, but for others that are ill and who have no hope. My hope rests in my faith in the Lord and that has gotten me through the worst times. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that God is in control. Some people ask me how I can believe in a God who gave me cancer. God did not give me cancer. He allowed it to happen but he also allowed me to be healed to be able to help others going through it. My faith is stronger now because of everything and so I lean on Him when I am worried and know he answers my prayers. God never promised us a rose garden but gives us the strength and determination to make it through. I pray for those who have no faith and therefore have no hope. I hope that my messages here will help someone see that they are not alone in their struggle with cancer or with life's difficulties and that if they call out to God, He will listen and comfort them.

My prayer today is for a good report and that everything will go according to God's plan. He's answered my prayers, some in a miraculous way where others have said that what has happened is coincidence. I don't believe in coincidence. I believe it all in the Master's plan. I wish I could share all of those answered prayers with you but it would take too long to list them all here. However, if you do want to know I am always happy to share. The only answer that makes any sense is that there is a God and that He will be there for you as He will be here for me today and everyday of my life.

Hi Cindi...I too pray for good results for you. There are times that we all just have to trust in God and know that whatever his will is, will be. It is not up to us to question why, but to trust our lives to him.
