On the days that we are feeling overwhelmed by the trials from cancer, I think of the following verses:
~Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. (1) My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. (2)
When it comes to encouraging John when he is feeling so sick, I feel so helpless sometimes. I wish I could take away his pain – I have even wished I could have had this cancer instead of him! It hurts me to see him hurting – I wonder if that makes sense at times. However, I believe that those who are reading this and are caregivers will know exactly what I mean by this.
I love my beloved more than words can express and to see him suffer is more than I can bear at times. It is then that I have to look to my Heavenly Father and cry out in desperation. It is the God of Glory who will sustain us!
