Bible Answer: j5962cjs: Welcome to the Forum! I am not sure who this believe is, you or someone you know. However I can speak from very personal experience, to your question. I am in raditation treatment at peresent time. I quite offen read psalm 139. There I find that the Lord knew this would be a part of my life before I was born. The Lord Almighty knows all the days we have, and God is loving and compassionately cares for me. In Romans 8, the entire chapter speaks to every issue I have in living and dealing with cancer. I pray and others as well, that my life be in the direct will of the Father. That is where I want to be, what more can I ask? I some time ago heard about a young person dealing with cance. Their thought was "yard by yard lifes to hard. Inch by inch life is a sinch". To be open, a lot of deep emotions are at the front of my thoughts. To be very honest, at times it is rather overwhelming to deal with cancer. I sometimes feel alone, and sad. There are times I have real peace, and there are times when pain and being uncomfortable physically, I wonder how I will endure to the end of treatments. I am often brought to remember verses I have comitted to memory that bring calmness to my mind and body. I tell you very openly with out my wife and her carrying much of the load and being my "wind benieth my wings" I most surely would be unable to endure this. Our children, all adults and married, and grandchildren, are big in supporting me which all helps. I believe this is much of a total picture of "How to walk in peace". I sincerly hope this helps you, and that you can gleam some peace from my life experience. Blessings and Peace. justne |
