      HOPE

      Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

      PROVERBS 23:18

      When we hear the word cancer used in reference to us, it’s a natural response to assume the worst. We wonder if our will is up to date, how we will tell those we love, and whether or not we will have much pain. How much time do we have?

      Such worrying, though natural, is premature. In recent decades, the cancer survival rate has increased enormously. A cancer diagnosis is no longer a certain death sentence.

      More importantly, God is in control. He sees your situation. He is with you now and will be with you through your treatment. Isn’t that a great reason to hope? Make hope in God your anchor through your cancer journey.

      Dear Lord, I need hope. I need to believe you surely have a future for me. I pray for the kind of hope only you can deliver. I pray for hopeful signs to come my way from those caring for me. In all that lies ahead, give me strength to endure and come out the other side of my treatment. This, Lord, is my earthly hope. But you, Lord, are my eternal hope.

      YOU’RE ON A JOURNEY

      The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.

      EXODUS 13:21

      When the Israelites made their long, tiresome journey through a rough and unwelcoming land, God was with them…leading them…providing for them. Just as he does today for us as we travel through the desert of cancer.

      God, I need a sheltering pillar of cloud along my way as I take this journey I did not choose. Lord, I need you to light my path with a pillar of fire during the darkest nights. Make the road ahead safe for me, as these are unknown paths I travel. Go before me in every aspect of my treatments. Give wisdom to my doctors and caregivers. Give patience to my family. May I have the necessary faith to take this journey and arrive safely on the other side of cancer. As I travel, I pray you’ll introduce me to new companions on the journey—including others who are on the same long road. Bring us safely through, Lord.

      ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE

      In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials.

      1 PETER 1:6

      Cancer is a trial of the first order. Questions abound. Anxiety looms. Emotions run high. One of those emotions may be grief. We sense a loss, even when the prognosis is favorable. We were healthy…and now we are not. Our world shifts.

      Please know that grief is a normal part of what you’re going through. Allow yourself time to grieve and to process this turn of events. God understands.

      God, I feel like I’ve momentarily lost my way. I’ve also lost a form of happiness that came from being healthy. In the midst of my trust in you, I still feel a profound sense of grief at my diagnosis. Thank you for understanding how I feel. Even Jesus must have felt some sense of grief when he prayed that if it were possible, the cup of crucifixion might pass from him. I have a cup in front of me—a cup from which I would prefer not to drink. Still, as with Jesus, I accept your plan for my life. I will grieve…and then I will move ahead with courage.

      USED BY GOD

      If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

      JOHN 12:26

      We who are believers in Christ follow him wherever he leads—even into the chemo room. No matter what we are facing, we must be where our Father is and continue about his business.

      Father, I’m your servant. I follow you wherever you lead. Right now, I follow you into a battle with cancer. Here I will learn much and experience suffering, but I will be in the company of Jesus, the one who suffered for me. I pray that in following you onto this battlefield, I will find a purpose in my present hardships. I pray that while I’m here, I will serve you as best I can. Show me how to honor you in the midst of cancer. Show me how I can be used by you during this time.

      QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

      If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

      JAMES 1:5

      A cancer diagnosis usually elicits several questions. Most often we ask, Why me? Why now? God’s ways can be mysterious and beyond finding out. We may never know why something bad happens to us. However, at such questioning times, we can ask God for wisdom in how to handle our diagnosis, and he will answer day by day.

      Lord, cancer is so rampant these days that I shouldn’t be surprised it has come knocking on my door. Still, I wonder why I have to endure the suffering that cancer brings. So, Lord, I pray that you will help me understand what part this chapter in the book of my life will play in the story you’ve written for me. I pray that in understanding, I’ll be more patient, and in gaining wisdom about my cancer, I’ll know how to proceed wisely. Lord, please show me the way. Please impart wisdom generously.

      PRAYER AS MEDICINE

      Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.

      JEREMIAH 17:14

      In our eagerness to hope that the current treatment for our cancer will be successful, we might overlook our greatest weapon in the cancer-fighting arsenal—prayer. We must keep asking, keep seeking, keep believing for God’s hand in our healing. Keep prayer uppermost in your fight. Praise God if healing comes…and praise him if it doesn’t. Remember to never blame yourself for not praying hard enough. We may safely offer even small prayers, and they will be heard by our very big God.

      Lord, I pray with Jeremiah, Heal me…and I shall be healed. God, keep your faithful hand on my body. Bring health and healing to my bones. Lift my pain; help me to endure whatever lies ahead. You, Father, are my praise. You are the one I worship. You are the healer of my body and my soul. Strengthen me, Lord. Bring me great peace as I travel this journey. Save me, and I shall be saved.

      PRAYING FOR YOUR SUPPORT TEAM

      By wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.

      PROVERBS 24:6

      Your support team consists of all those who are helping you in your fight. That includes your doctors, chemo nurses, radiologists, family, friends, pastoral staff—any of those you’ve enlisted to aid you in your cancer battle. Pray for them often. Ask God to give them wisdom and to guide you
