Cancer.
Radiation. Cyberknife. The very words can cause fear in the
bravest heart. And they can definitely cause fear in me.
No one can ever be fully prepared for a bad report
from the doctor and a bevy of tests. We all hope for the best, and when it
doesn’t happen, we cringe, cry, and question. Then, if we’re smart, we turn it
over to God. Bad news might catch us by surprise, but it doesn’t catch God off
guard for a second. He knows the end from the beginning … and everything in
The Bible is full of “fear nots.” We’re told to
trust in the Lord with our whole heart, to be anxious and worried about
nothing, and to pray about any and everything. Add to that, people willing to surround
you with a warm blanket of prayer when you’re going through a trial, and you
have a priceless gift.
Many times, problems appear in our minds as huge,
insurmountable mountains, which brings on the fear. But God tells us to speak
to that mountain if we want it to move. He is not only ready to calm our fears
but to provide whatever we need. He is still a miracle-working God.
My husband just finished five intensive rounds of
radiation therapy. Our youngest granddaughter helped him ring the bell. What an awesome day!
I’ve learned over the past few weeks that God is greater
than cancer, radiation, and the gigantic, robotic cyberknife. He is our healer,
protector, and peace-speaker. He is our strength. And he is way bigger than all
our fears.
He is all we will ever need.
