Beloved of All
For a while now, I have asked for prayer for my daughter who was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of this year. She's afraid of chemotherapy and has been postponing treatment while trying to find alternatives. Later today, she is supposed to have a Zoom conference with her breast specialist and oncologist at the local clinic and a cyber knife specialist in another state. Her sister keeps me informed about things. or some reason, my daughter stops talking to me when I ask questions. I want her to live. When the cancer was found, it was highly curable with chemo and surgery. She only wants surgery, but that's not what Medicaid will pay for. They will pay for what her doctors order. I just don't know what to think. I've prayed and I'm still praying that the Lord will either heal her or change her mind so she will get help. I'm praying that her situation has not worsened. My daughter says she feels fine and she's walking for exercise. Right after the diagnosis, she started eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and juicing. She takes numerous supplements. I know the Lord can divinely heal her, but sometimes, He use His human tools and medicine to cure. Since she has avoided treatment, all I have to lean on is faith in the Lord. Because the Lord divided the Red Sea and held the waters until the people walked by, I know He can hold back or get rid of that cancer. The wind and water must obey Him. Please pray for my child. The scriptures say in Exodus and Ephesians that children should honor their parents that they may have long life (Exodus). I know this to be true because of the sassy students who died after disrespecting their parents. I am a retired teacher, so I saw a lot. I never put up with disrespect and I tried to raise them to fear the Lord. I know that everything rests with the Lord. But, I didn't raise them so that I would bury them; I want them to bury me! I don't understand why babies and little children die. But, I had former students who died as young adults. Later, I found out that they were mean to their parents, especially their mothers. I don't know why this is happening. It's true that the Lord lets it rain on the just and the unjust. He has no respect of persons. This doesn't seem real! But, it is. As you pray, please pray for the other members of this community and those who are not. I'm praying for everybody.
