Praise the Great Physician for what He has done for you! My 33-year-old daughter’s best friend (since the cradle) was recently diagnosed with an aggressive leukemia. She has 5 young daughters, so maybe your prayers would be effective for her. Her name is Jena.
So sad for the family. All of us here are thinking of you and your loved one.
RIP.
God is awesome, I’m am ever grateful for his mercy. And thank you so much for your prayers, they are greatly apperciated.
If God hasn't given Jena any verses from the bible. Tell her to ask Him to give her something to hang onto. That's what He did for me. I know things now, that I didn't understand about God at the time. One was, healing confused me. Why did it happen for some and not others? Was God picking and choosing who got healed and who didn't? I understand now, and it's so deep within my heart and mind, no one can shake me, that it is certainly God's will to heal ALL of our sicknesses and diseases. God is no respecter of persons. What He will do for one, He'll do for another. Why it doesn't always happen? I don't know, I just know it's His will.
Fifty-two is waaay too young.
Yes, it is.
