We pray, we ask for help and we often beg for help. Sometimes, that help does not always come when we want it it. Sometimes it seems it does not come at all. Where do we turn to then?
Faith is a difficult and delicate subject. Some pray and may have an entire team praying with them but it seems all efforts fail. We cannot explain how God works. When we see a loved one die or a small child suffering from cancer it's easy for us to wonder where God was and even ask if he even cares.
We have to maintain the Faith that God does care, that He does listen to our prayers and that there must be some divine plan that we are unable to understand.
for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
He does not proclaim that He will keep any of us free from death, but he does provide for us eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Death, we have to understand, is a part of the life cycle.
Ultimately, I have to understand and have the Faith that God cares for me while I struggle with cancer. I have to believe that there is comfort in trusting Him and that there will be eternal comfort if I should perish.
My time here will be that much more meaningful when I live my life the best I can. To serve Him with all my heart and to always try to do unto others the way I would want them to do unto me. We have all heard that before but we often find it easier to turn the other way.
What we ask of others as we battle cancer should help us to know what others want and need. In doing good, our work is pleasing in the eyes of God.
