Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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.
Matt Dally of the Christian band Superchic(k) talks about his mother’s battle with cancer, and how Philippians 4:6-7 helped him through the difficult time.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Sean Smith shares about losing his mom to cancer. While he believes in Romans 8:28, he questions whether his mom’s death was part of God’s plan. A good encouragement for anyone dealing with terminal illness.

Becky writes:
Due to the difficulties I’ve faced (some of my own making and some not) I have been “refined as silver is refined”.
I have gone through such trials as cancer by age 21, an unfaithful husband, the death of two children and the great challenge of being married to an alcoholic who doesn’t yet know Christ… but God is so faithful!
