Good Morning Danny. What does one say to another when they are on an Emotional Roller Coaster?
I, who have gone through Cancer have no real answer except to share a part of my own story and how I talked to God.
“Lord, here is the Problem…Here is my need…Here is my desire to be whole again.
Lord, I refuse Fear. Fear will only destroy my wobbly faith because I see the doubt, hear the doubt from the lips of my wonderful doctor.”
Danny, Trish, Sometimes my Faith level was High ….Sometimes I had to spend time with God to resurrect it.
One thing I do KNOW for sure and Certain is that God took what Faith I had to offer for that day and He told me to accept HIS REST and I did.
I gave this to Him who loves me most….on a daily basis. Then I continued to LIVE…without Self-pity…without Depression. I did stupid things to make myself laugh to rise above any inkling of Depression. (“A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.)” – Proverbs 17:22 (Amplified Bible)
I sang the scripture which says, “Whose report will you believe? I will believe the report of the Lord. Whose report will you receive? I will receive the report of the Lord. His report says I am healed…His report says I am filled…His report says I am free…His report brings Victory.”
God was and still is FAITHFUL! When I did my best on a daily basis; He mixed my sometimes meager portions with His best and gave me just enough for that day.
I was told I could not live past 3 years because I had Carcinoma and endometrial cancers at the same time.
12 and 1 /2 years later I still give Him who loves me, the Faith I have for the day and He mixes it with His Faithfulness and with the Stripes He bore for my healing…..I still live.
But these can seem like only words to you….. in your present state.
May I suggest that you print out all of the ‘encouraging words’, all the ‘I am Praying for you’ notes…..put them in a booklet and read them. I read my cards over and over and over……I breathed in the strength that people were offering me…..I would lift them up to my Lord and simply say…. “Lord, I believe and I Rest my case”.
Children,I offer my Prayers in with the mix of so many others.
I love you and lift you, Trish and your precious children up before God with you. Jesus Never Fails!
Julie
