A few days ago, I asked some of you to share with me and other readers scriptures from which you draw strength or inspiration.
Several of you sent scriptures that get you through day to day or have taken you through difficult times.
I would like to share some of them with you now. If you have others, please click on comments to post them.
Pat Q. wrote to me:In your Scripture readings, may I suggest Isaiah 12:2 ("God indeed is my savior . I am confident and unafraid . . . "). It has gotten me through some tough times.
And Sandy G. suggested John 11:4 and Psalms 91:3.
And from Sam P., I received, "The ones I turn to again and again are Ephesian 6:10 "...Put on the full armor of God..." and, of course, Psalm 23.
And again my favorite is Phillipians 4:13.
Thanks.

I feel exactly where you are at this point, but know that God has a plan for you, its not to harm you, but only to prosper you. I have walked a mile in your shoes already. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 1986. I praise God for my healing. I am now a cancer-free (always free with my Jesus) 50 year, whose faith has gotten stronger and stronger over the years. Never thought that it would happen to me, but when it did, my question to God was why not me, I'm no different than anyone else, and just what are you trying to tell me God that I need to do for you. I had a mastecomy and 6 months of chemotherapy. I'm telling you, I was shouting when it was over.
He always allows something to happen to get us closer to him, and to give us something that we can witness and glorify his name.
I held on to his Word, Standing still, and knowing that he is God, that he would fight my battles and that he has never failed one yet. He may not come when we want him to, but he is always on time.
I've learned over the years, that we have the authority and power within us in the Name of Jesus, as long as we believe and trust in him, that whatever we speak into our lives, it will be given unto. So my sister, continue to walk in the Victory, because it is already done. Don't stress over recurrence, I never do. I go for my checkup and tell them in a minute, God said I'm healed, you keep on checking because I know my God would never fail me. He is always there for you to draw strength from.
My prayer is that God will continue to strengthen you in your walk, as he renews the body and spirit, that he be glorified through it, and that he gives you peace that surpasses all understanding.
GOD IS ALL YOU NEED.
