"
When my husband was diagnosed with cancer back in 2014, our family got an up close and personal lesson on faith. Now that my mom is battling pancreatic cancer, the faith lessons continue. Trials can lead us to a greater dependency on God and a deeper trust in His sovereignty if we let them. I’ve learned that in every situation I have a choice: I can pout, or I can praise.
I can turn away from God because I don’t understand, or I can turn toward God trusting that His understanding is enough for the both of us – even if it hurts – even if fear lingers – even if doubt looms.
Have you been to these crossroads?
God shows us a powerful example of praise-over-pout behavior in chapter sixteen of the book of Acts. During the Apostle Paul’s second missionary journey, he and his ministry buddy Silas encountered a collision of faith and trouble while in Philippi.
After Paul cast out a demon that was terrorizing a young slave girl, he and Silas were seized by disgruntled Roman citizens and dragged to the marketplace before the rulers. They were then wrongfully accused of public disruption. And later stripped, beaten, and unlawfully jailed without a trial. After the flogging, Paul and Silas were taken to the inner cell of the prison, normally reserved for the most dangerous offenders, and their feet were placed in stocks.
Though they had every reason to sit and stew because of the injustice of their situation, Paul and Silas chose to trust in God’s plan and praise their Lord, Jesus Christ. Though they had open wounds and would likely have been in severe physical pain, Paul and Silas chose to glorify the name of God.
“After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them” (Acts 16: 23-25).
Then God shook the foundations of the prison and loosed the chains of the prisoners. In horror, knowing he would be held responsible for the escape of the prisoners, the jailer raised his sword to kill himself – but Paul stopped him. He and Silas hadn’t fled. They stood amidst their dark circumstances and spoke and sang with confidence in their God.
As a result, several people, including the jailer and his family, came to believe in Jesus Christ.
“The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all of his household were baptized. The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household” (Acts 16:29-34).
Though we won’t always rejoice in our circumstances, we are commanded to always rejoice in the Lord.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:4, 6-7).
When we praise the Lord through, and in spite of, what we face our praise becomes our deliverance through the trial. Praise leads us to peace.
“We also have joy with our troubles, because we know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character, and character produces hope. And this hope will never disappoint us” (Romans 5:3-5a).
This world is broken, and hardship is unavoidable. But no matter what difficult times we encounter, God is worthy of our praise.
When we choose to praise instead of pout, we choose to trust God.
When we choose to trust God rather than grow terrified in the trial, the wounded world around us lifts their eyebrows in wonder – just like the Roman jailer.
My husband is completely healed and doing great. My mom is in the midst of a treacherous battle. I’m praying that our praising will turn a few eyes toward the Healer.
Yes. Trials will continue to come. Yes. Sometimes a sacrifice of praise is required. You and I get to choose whether or not we will offer it. Let’s choose to trust God with everything and everyone today.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for being trustworthy and praiseworthy! Help me trust You each time I approach crossroads of faith and trouble. In spite of the burdens on my heart and challenges in my path right now, I choose to praise Your name and celebrate that Your hope will never disappoint.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
FOR YOUR REFLECTION and RESPONSE
What or who do you need to trust God with today? Will you? What would trusting God look like for you?
Talk to Him. Worship. Be still and know that He is God – that He is with you – that He cares and sees.
Thanks for doing life with me, blog Fam!

PERSONAL UPDATE: In early June, my mom (MaryLou Eisaman) was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. She underwent an intense Whipple Surgery on June 12th and began aggressive chemo two weeks ago. Her weight is low and her appetite is non-existent (due to nausea from chemo and continued internal healing from the surgery). She’s obviously in for the fight of her life as she undergoes chemo treatments for the next 6 months in the hopes of kicking cancer to the curb. Unfortunately, her MRI on Monday revealed several spots on her liver. Not the outcome we were wanting. Yet in the thick of it all, we are choosing to trust that JESUS, who holds all things in heaven and on earth together, will hold her (and all of us) together with the gravity of His grace. Would you please continue join my family and me in prayer for my mom?
PS. Once again, if you’d like to post a prayer or note of encouragement for my mom on the wall of my blog, I will share them with her again!! (Last week was bananas! Hundreds and hundreds of prayers! She was blown away!)
PSS. Love you. Mean it.
There are endless opportunities for us to worry, wander, and wonder. But that’s not God’s best for us. Though we remain broken and impacted by an imperfect world, you can get through anything in the power and hope of Jesus. That’s the message of I Want It ALL.

Behind in my email devotions. I’m so sorry to hear of yet another valley to cross.
I will be praying for your Mom as I prayed for you during the loss of your Father from the same cause as my 30 year old daughter’s Father. It was a rough couple of years but she and our relationship our mending.
A great devotion!
Lord,
I pray that MaryLou feels your presence as you are with her. Envelope her with your great love and all her family, and medical team. Your blessings are amazing. I thank you Lord for the blessings you give her.
MaryLou,
I hope you feel comfort, and some strength knowing that prayers continue for you. Our Lord is mighty and he is with you. If you feel alone, talk to him and let him know. Know that he loves you, and his love is perfect.
Father God, I recognize Your authority and power as the one who heals all our diseases and afflictions. I believe that You can restore wholeness to every aspect of her life, mending her broken body, mind, and spirit. I pray for Your healing touch to be upon her, that she may experience renewed strength and vitality.
May the God of Restoration and Healing put his hand upon your mom and your family Gwen. Proclaim her healing and victory over the cancer before you see it. It will come to pass. I am going thru my own trial as well but not physically and every day I proclaim the healing and restoration of what I m facing even though I don’t see it yet. I believe it! Proclaim victory in faith and she will be healed!
praying for your mom. God is able. And, praying for you>
Praying that God will use this trial that you both are in to bring people to him. May God put his healing touch on your Mom. May he give the doctors and nurses guidance and knowledge on how to care for her. I ask God to put a hedge of protection around her. Nothing is impossible with Jesus!
Prayers for your mother. As difficult as pancratic cancer is, for my mother also had it, there is hope and comfort knowing she is in God’s hands. God Bless your mother and family in this difficult time.
Pray for healing,
Diane
I see and hear you!
Sending prayers for mom, her family, and her medical team.
Our God is faithful and hears our prayers. We lift up your mom to Him seeking His healing power that she may be healed on this side of earth with restored health to give God praise for his healing and love. Lord, we seek you for answered prayer.
Prayers for your dear mom and each of her family as well. We will be trusting God’s healing hand to reach down and touch your mom with healing.
God bless you and your family Gwen. Mary Lou, I will be praying for you daily, asking God for your healing, comfort, peace and that you feel his presence. In 2008, I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I prayed for God’s will to be done, I asked for healing, I asked God that the chemo would zero in on and destroy the cancer cells, but not harm my other cells. I had my port in for, I think, 6 years, then it was removed. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Declaring, decreeing and proclaiming that your mom is healed in the precious name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!

Gwen keeping your precious mama in my prayers! You are a wonderful daughter! May God wrap his loving arms around all of you!! Love ya girlfriend!!! 💪🙏💪🙏💪🙏
I am quoting your daughter : “There are endless opportunities for us to worry, wander, and wonder”; but they are billions of reasons to trust in our Adonai, Abba Father, give MaryLou a profound desire to seek these billions of opportunity to find refuge in Your promises and rejoice in the abundance of your caring love.
God does not create illnesses and diseases. He is the fountain of healing through the precious blood of the Lamb.
We Praise You Sovereign Lord God for Your Comfort and Your Healing from the inside out in the lives of your children.
Amen
Continuing to pray for your mom, Gwen. I’m so sorry she is going through this time of suffering. I pray that the medications will totally rid her body of cancer and she will be cancer free once again. Until then I pray she will feel the mighty power and love of our amazing Father, that she will feel His love enfold and surround her. I pray for you and your family as well. I know this is a difficult time for you all. But, as you know, we serve a mighty God who has great love and goodness for His children, and in His will, all things are possible. Thank you for sharing and giving your followers the opportunity to pray for you all.
Blessings

Dear June,
As I sit here in California, reading once again beautiful words of praise from your lovely daughter, I think to myself how proud you must be of her. I am so sorry for the pain and discomfort you must be in. I sat with my mother who battled cancer years ago. Those moments were and still are precious to me. I pray that every moment spent with your loved ones brings you comfort and that you feel Gods loving arms around you. You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless You
MaryLou,
You raised a daughter who is beautiful inside and out. Her love is matched only by her faith–in God and her family. I pray that you remember every day that you are greatly loved in Heaven and on Earth and that our God strengthens you and comforts you on this journey. God bless you.
In His strength,
Mardiece
Thank you for this message of encouragement today. Thank you for reminding me that God always allows us to choose. My mom is a beautiful 91. She is now in assisted living; bedridden and getting ready to stand in the presence of her Maker, Jesus Christ. What do I really want to do? I want to cry out and say, “Not now God!”
Yet, I know that our God’s timing is always perfect. He knows a beautiful spirit is coming home. Heaven has always been mom’s eternal home resting place. She made sure that I knew how to get there, too. Thank you, mom. Love you so. ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Good morning,
Sending prayers for your mom and family during this challenging time. I pray that the joy of the lord would provide strength and God’s peace that passes all understanding would comfort and sustain you. Keep trusting and continue to have faith that God will see you through. “For I know the plans I have for you says the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Best wishes and love from,
Cynthia and family
To Gwen’s Mom

Praying for your mom and your family. May God give her strength to fight this battle. May God give you strength to stand by her side. May God be glorified by the faith you demonstrate through this trial.
I am praying for your mom, that God will heal her tired body, and bring strength to her and to you during this difficult time. I love being able to connect with fellow Christian sisters and pray….
I want to share this verse of scripture that I have repeated every morning for years. It seems to encompass every situation and trial that we might face. I hope it blesses you as well.
Psalm 143:8
Dear Lord, help Gwen’s mom through this! I ask you in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Praying for healing for your mom, all the medical staff God is working through, and your supportive family. 🙏🏼❤️
Lord, I pray for wisdom for the Doctors, strength for Mom to do what she need to do and peace for all involved that they believe they are held and loved by the One who created and still sustains everything and yet chooses to live in those who believe.
God loves you!
This message came on time for me and my family on so many levels, plus my daughter goes in for nasal cauterization surgery today, standard procedure but she is 12 so the nerves are all over the place.
Lord please continue to cover Gwen’s mom, heal her and restore her body. I am so grateful for your continued blessings over us all. You are concerned about everything that worries us, but if we continue to remember who we are in Christ and worship you and remember who you are to us, you will provide peace beyond our understanding. Your a good God and we are grateful. AMEN.
To Gwen and especially your Mom
God is the healer of all ! I pray that the prayers of who believe surround you today! Keep trusting and praising! May His will be done in your life in His time and in His Way.
In Jesus Name, AMEN
D
I am praying for your Mom.
Dear LORD, our Great Physician and Healer, who created us in Your image, I come to You asking that You please completely and miraculously heal MaryLou. Let her healing be a testimony of You. Please help Your daughter, MaryLou, to no longer feel the need to do chemo, which is very toxic. Please give her wisdom, shalom peace, and strength to continue to praise You in all circumstances. We thank You that You have heard our prayers in agreement, and that You are answering. We praise You forevermore that because of You, we are victorious and You are always with us!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen!
May you feel God’s loving arms around you as you trust in him in each day! He is right there to supply His love, grace, and provision to you.
Praying for your mom🙏🏻
Lord, we lift up our sister, MaryLou, to you right now. You know the battle she is facing and you know the outcome. We praise Your name no matter what Your answer is to our prayers for her. Whether she is healed her on earth or in heaven, we will praise You and put our hope in You. I pray for healing from this cancer and I pray that those spots on her liver will turn out to be shadows. You are the great Physician and You can make mountains crumble and fall. We ask in the name of Jesus that you will remove the spots on her liver and heal her pancreas from cancer. Nothing is impossible for You! Give us the faith of a mustard seed, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Dear Father, we pray for your peace and strength to MaryLou and her family! We put our trust in your will and your plan for MaryLou. In your precious name we pray.
I wanted to send some words of encouragement As pancreatic cancer statistics are tough to see. My dad had a whipple in 2011 and fought a very hard fight chemo/radiation etc. HE BEAT IT! We got another 6 amazing years with him. He walked both my sister and I down the aisle and so many great memories. God took him home in 2017….but I wanted to send love, prayers and some fighting energy! You have prayer warriors out here 🙏🏻❤️
Father God is I pray for Mary Lou I know that the Battle is fierce. My dad and my husband’s mother have both gained their victory to see Jesus through pancreatic cancer. I pray Father that You would grant Gwen and the whole family peace and give them the joy and the trust we have in You . I pray this in Jesus precious and holy name, Amen!
Dear Mary Lou, I’m praying for your healing and that you and your family will have “the peace of of God, which transcends all understanding”. Also, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
I am praying for your mom Gwen. I will add her to my Rosary list this evening. Praying that the Lord will lay his hands on her and help her through this journey.
I am keeping your mom in prayer. The HOLY SPIRIT is within her and HE has the power to heal her. She is healed by the STRIPES OF JESUS. I totally believe in miracles. I am a walking miracle right now diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer August 2022 and I am still standing and kicking butt by the GRACE and HEALING POWERS of OUR LORD AND SAVIOR ,the MASTER HEALER JESUS CHRIST.

mrs. eisaman,

blessings
Lifting your mom up in prayer. Thanks for your words of wisdom and faith that you have been sharing with all of us over the years.
Dear Mary Lou, you are in my heart and in my prayers. I know how difficult it can be dealing with cancer and chemo since I walked this road myself. The Bible says in Matthew 18:19 ” Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done by My Father who is in heaven.” Me and a whole lot of other sisters in Christ are praying in agreement for God’s hand of healing for you. We love you! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities and heals all your diseases. Ps.103:2-3. The Lore bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. Num.24:25-26
Dear Father, Hallowed be your name.
Your the God that sees and knows what your children are going through.
I know you hurt with us when we hurt. You know the beginning of our days and the ending our time as we know it before crossing over to meet you face-to-face forever.. What a glorious day that will be!
We are praying for MaryLou Eisman and her battle with cancer. As Gwen says, she is fighting for her life. Please bring her peace and comfort and healing if it be your Will through this. Be with Gwen and her family as they suffer along with her in this battle.
It’s in Jesus sweet name we pray and petition, Amen
Father God, please hold your daughter MaryLou Eisaman in the palm of your hand. Walk with her on her fight with pancreatic cancer. Be with her and her family throughout this fight and heal her. In the name of your Son, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Good morning my sister Mary Lou:
This is Joy from Ecuador greeting you with Blessings and Healings from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is your refuge and strength in all times of trouble. I pray the weather in Charlotte is pleasant today for you. Our weather is cloudy and we need rain. Our cistern has been full but it is shared with our landlady who likes to water her plants daily. Pray for us that she will be more considerate as we pay for the water.
I have had episodes of pancreatitis and had to believe that I am walking in His Divine Health which a prophet of God told me 20 years ago. I am still here. I have to watch my sugar intake and my fat intake. I also have a fatty deposit on my liver. Ultra sounds say it is there and not growing. I ask God for His son’s Jesus Blood to heal your liver of any tumors or growths. I ask God to strengthen you today in your body, from top of your head to the soles of your feet. You are a Blessed woman of God. Do not listen to the lies of the enemy. You are Healed. Say every morning: I will live and not die! Believe and claim this scripture verse, Its yours, a gift from God. Please say “hello” to Gwen for me and give her a hug from me. She is a Blessing to me and many sisters in the Lord.
Praying for Mom and your family.
Thank you for your encouragement you send put each week.
You bless my heart

Good morning Mary Lou, I want to start by thanking you for being such an amazing mother! You have raised a wonderful daughter who has touched the lives of millions of people! As a mother myself I can imagine how very proud you are of her and all she does for so many people. I am praying for you and Gwen both, you are loved and appreciated.

We are here just for a time, but God knows best, as we journey through life, there will be trials and tribulations, but Jesus said take heart he has overcome it!! God is good all the time!! Keep fighting the faith, God is with you!!
God is watching you, God is holding you, God deeply loves you Gwen, and your mom. I’m praying for you to feel his love and strength right now.
Continued Prayers for you your mom and family, Gwen.
God be praised!
We are not meant to understand Your ways and are taught to find something “good” in every situation.
This doesn’t translate into denying reality, but instead, to trust the path we journey together.
Thank you for our many blessings and please give Gwen and her family the faith to move forward. Please give Gwen’s mother the fortitude and grace to accept the future.
Please help them to visualize themselves sitting in Your hand, guarded and comforted by Your love.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen
We choose to praise the Lord. Sounds crazy to the world, yet we praise You in the midst of troubles out of gratefulness that You have promised never to leave us or forsake us. We praise You out of obedience. We praise You for saving us & promising us eternal life with You! Now Father I ask that MaryLou & her family can keep their eyes on You, know that all they’re going through has been filtered by Your precious fingers and Your unconditional love. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen

Praying for your mom and your family!! 🙏🏼
I am praying for God’s abundant peace to rest on your family through this season. May his arms hold each of you up and bring healing.

Prayers for your sweet and loving mom. I am a cancer survivor as well and I fully believe in the healing power of our lord and savior. I believe he has your mom in the palm of his hand. Love, prayers, and hugs to you and your entire family.
Praying for mom.
I’ll keep your mom and your whole family in my prayers for healing, strength, and comfort.
I began worshipping and praying in my prayer language when I saw a liver with little white spots on it. Three of the spots just disappeared.
When my Mom passed away, I found her in her recliner. The image was stuck in my head. I prayed for the Lord to take it away. On the day of her memorial service, the devotional she read from was read for the day she passed. It was about how God takes us by the hand… when I saw a scene of Mom waking up in the recliner and having a smile of awe, reached up and took Jesus’ hand and went with Him.
The image of the liver with the disappearing spots was in the same light.
MaryLou we are praising God for the moments of clarity when you see God’s hand in your journey. He is so faithful to put people in front of you that see your faith and dependence on Him in your toughest moments. Our Father knows the emotional journey you are on and will faithfully sustain you and your precious family through this. Your daughter is precious and we thank you for raising her to touch our lives so perfectly with His word. I pray humor and laughter into your toughest moments so you can remember the joy He has in every season. We will continue to love and pray you through this sister! Jolie
Continuing to pray for Mary Lou and the family- may you each have an overwhelming sense of His loving presence throughout each day ( and especially each night!).
Prayer for your mother:
May the God of all healing lay His joyous hand upon your sick and aching body and heal you, whether on this side or the other. May He bring you and your family peace in this circumstance and cover you in all things! In Jesus’s name…Amen!
Hello Angel,
May God’s presence never leave you. He tells us he will never leave us or forsake us. Trust God. I am praying for you and your family.
Lord, we come to you in prayer & reverence asking for your Almighty healing hand upon my sister. Touch her Father, minister to her & to the family! Give them peace that only you can. Give them courage as only you can! We praise you in the mist of our storms, knowing that you alone can fix this! In Jesus name! Amen
Gwen
Prayers of wisdom for the medical staff and your family, as your Mom is sick with cancer. Prayers for perseverance and preservation of your faith. I am reminded of God telling Joshua” to be strong and of good courage”. I am thankful that Jesus is always with us and never leaves us; that God is sovereign and in control. May your Mom and your family have the peace of God. Prayers for healing.
Thankful for your ministry. It has helped encourage me during some hard and difficult times. God uses you to speak to me. Do you have a daily devotional in a book?
Prayers for your beautiful Mom and your family. We have never met, though feel free to reach out if you need someone to listen or talk to.

Dear Father,
Thank you for MaryLou. Thank you for Gwen. Thank you for being greater than cancer. I pray that your peace and presence fill these women powerfully. I pray they see you and your glory through each moment. We love you, Lord
Please keep trusting, keep praying and hold tight to your faith.
Thank you Gwen for the amazing and anointed devotional that you shared with us. I have been following GIG for years and I’m so grateful that GOD has connected me to GIG when I needed the most. Prayers are up for your mom and we are believing for her complete healing regardless of what the Doctors(man) is saying. Just like GOD has healed your husband- HE can and will do the same for your mom. Psalms 118:17( a lady that was diagnosed with Breast Cancer Stage 4 twice shared this one in her testimony), Ezekiel 16:6(blood scripture -someone shared how a person cut their arm at their home and it was an enormous amount of blood that came from their arm and it would not stop. Upon reading that scripture- blood stopped so that they were able to get the person to the hospital) and Psalms 30:2(2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast ahealed me.). GOD’s Words does not return void. If HE said it, I believe it, Tell your mom keep going forth and know she has a major testimony to share.
Note: I shared the first two scriptures with a man whose fiance had a lung to collapse and she was in the hospital for several months. I told him to read it to her every day and night… Several months down the line, I saw her coming returning home from work(only saw this woman 3xs-2 xs she was in the hospital in a coma with tubes everywhere and the last time she was returning home from work.. My husband shared the same two scriptures with one of his friend’s whose wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I met them for the first time a few months ago and my husband reminded me of the scriptures that we shared.
Praying for your mom’s healing and recovery. Also praying for peace, strength, and joy during this journey. It is a tough one, but God will carry y’all through❣️
I’m praying for your Mom! 🙏🏻
Dear Heavenly Father l pleaded with you to be with MaryLou in her time of need, give her comfort and strength as she is dealing with this difficult disease.

This is so timely as I currently sit in the hospital with my husband. He was diagnosed with cancer back in March and it has been anything but a typical case of this type of cancer. We’ve been blessed with an outpouring of prayers and blessings from our friends and family. Praying for your Mom and family!
Father,
We come to you with praise. We praise you for the peace you bring in the middle of storms. We praise you for comforting us when nothing seems to make sense and we have nothing left to give but a prayer or just the mention of your name. We ask for you to show this family the “red lights”. Even if they are not sure if the next steps forward, we always know what not to do. We ask for strength for MaryLou so that her body can heal. We know that you are a loving God and do not want harm for us. We know that fear does not come from you. Help us to be mindful of these things and continue to praise you through the difficult journeys we face in this life. Amen

Hello – I am so sorry about your mom. My husband was stage four with 6-18 months to live….the cancer was in several places……they started him on Keytruda, an immunotherapy, and he is now cancer free. Maybe you could ask about it. Prayers!

May He give your family the peace and strength to get through this trying time. Sending hugs and love, along with my prayers.

Dear Gwen and Mary Lou,
I am so sorry that you are having to walk this journey. I am trusting and believing God will be walking with you each step of the way.
Father God,
I pray You relieve Mary Lou’s pain, restore her appetite, and rid her body of cancer in Your way and timing.
I pray this family feels Your Comforting Presence and that they are able to experience moments of joy and see Your glory amidst the suffering.
May praise for You forever be on their lips. May despair and discouragement stay far from them. Give them the grace and strength to walk this journey.
Surround them with Your love. May hope and peace flow freely in their hearts and minds.
In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray,

Cancer will not have the final word. I don’t know how or when God will use your battle for good, but He will. I have lost my husband, my father, and grandfather to cancer. God has not wasted the tears. He has been glorified. Much good has come from all that pain. Remember God sees your struggle, feels your pain, collects your tears and is right beside you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8
Hugs and blessings,

What a beautiful devotional! I will definitely be praying for your mom’s healing. When I meditated on what to say to her , please tell her that Jesus said for her to “take His hand and walk with Him.” Will keep all of you in my prayers 💕
Thank you so much for this! I got your email on “Choosing To Trust God” about 30 minutes or so and talk about God’s perfect timing! My aunt and uncle called me some hours before that my grandpa is in the hospital and the way my aunt sounded was nothing like I’ve heard from her before and she’s a woman of Faith. I told them both that God is not done with him yet and we’ve seen what He can and will do! On June 12th, my daughter turned 9 years old and on that day she had emergency surgery due to appendicitis and her appendix erupted. She became sceptic, extremely low blood pressure, couldn’t hold anything down, and she had this smell coming over her. I honestly thought it was just something that could be treated at home at first cause she was just acting like it was a stomach ache or something mild until it got worse early that Monday morning and she had a horrible smell to her. I rushed her to the hospital and the doctor said that her appendix erupted and she was getting worse fast. They said the reason for the smell was because she was rotting from the inside out and her appendix had erupted days before. They said she should have died over the weekend before her birthday, but God had different plans for her. Not only did He keep her safe, but because of her faith in Him, He planted seeds at the hospital and showed how mighty He is through such a tiny little girl and brought a nurse to Christ! I can go on for eternity and tell you what He’s done for me and my 6 wonderful children, even raise my now 2 year old from the dead from COVID last year and the doctors couldn’t understand what happened but it was All Jesus, but I know that I serve a mighty God and through Jesus Christ, He’s going to heal my grandpa and your mom in every way and for eternity! No matter what, do not lose faith in Him cause He will never fail us, nor leave and forsake us. I’m praying for you and your family; God bless always and remember….no matter what 🎶It Is Well, It Is Well With My Soul!🎶🙌🏻💖😇
Praying for your mom!
What a privilege to join in prayer with you Gwen and your mom. Marylou and family for healing and continued blessings. In Jesus’ Name!!
Gwen I’m praying for your Mother and family. God is able and willing to do the impossible. I will continue to praise and trust God for your mom’s healing with you.
Dear Mom, This roller coaster you are on will end. The attendant that securely locked you in will be there to make sure you get out the right way and exit with a thrill of having done it. Your thrill will be eternally marked in your heart. I pray that your health even just a little will improve today and you will be able to praise our Lord for the “ride” you have before you. And the Lord says,, “Now go and enjoy your day. I’ve got this!”
May God wrap you in his loving arms and under his healing wings!
These truths have comforted me in times of need: God goes before me as the shepherd leads his sheep, God is sovereign and nothing touches my life that He has not in love and for His divine purposes permitted, and with His permission is His provision for all needs. He has numbered every day your mother has here on earth and they will be accomplished. May your mother rejoice in the comfort and mercy of our Father. I often come before Him calling upon his names as creator, the God most high, the God who sees, the God who provides, Lord, I AM, our healer, our righteousness, our shepherd, our peace, the one who sanctifies us, our peace. He is a very present help in the time of trouble and our hope which does not disappoint. My prayers for your mom and your family. You are loved.
Greetings,
As children of God, healing is the children’s bread. He told us in his Word by his stripes we are already healed we just have to receive it by Faith. There is a book by Norvell Hayes Confessions brings Possessions please read it I know it will be a blessing. Keep confessing you are healed in the name of Jesus and read some healing scriptures and watch God work.
