(Philippians 4:7)
It was in the fall of 2008, that I prepared for surgery for prostate cancer. When I was diagnosed, I was frightened. I didn't know how far along the cancer was. I had never gone through surgery before. From the time I found out I had cancer, I began to pray. From August to November, I spent time praying that God would help me through this ordeal.
When I went to the hospital, the day of my surgery, I was so at peace.
I was calm, and did not have the anxiety I thought I would have.
Because of the days and moments I had spent in prayer, prior to this day, the Lord instilled in my heart an inner strength that sustained me, through this rough experience.
I know from experience what prayer can do. But prayer is not like a pain pill we can take, but prayer is a constant fellowship with the best friend we could ever have. A fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
I was drawn closer to the Him, through this experience, and felt His peace, as never before.
You can feel it too, in all things. Get in a habit of prayer.
You won't be sorry you did! GP
