Biblical Answer

When telling your kids about your illness, it's essential to be honest and open with them. You can start by explaining what is happening in simple terms, and then be available to answer any questions they may have. It's also crucial to reassure them that you are receiving medical treatment and that you are doing everything possible to get better. This will help alleviate any fears or worries they may have. As Stormie Omartian says, "Anxiety or fear is an opportunity to show children the importance and power of prayer." You can explain to them that you are praying for healing and that they can join you in prayer. This will help them feel more connected to you and more confident in God's love and care for them.

As you share the news with your kids, be mindful of their age and maturity level. Younger children may need more reassurance and comfort, while older children may want more details and information. Be prepared to answer their questions and address any concerns they may have. It's also essential to be honest about the uncertainty of the situation and the possibility that things may not go as planned. However, you can also reassure them that you are not alone and that God is with you and them, guiding and comforting you both.

In addition to being honest and open, it's also crucial to involve your kids in the process of prayer and healing. You can involve them in praying for your recovery, and you can also ask them to pray for you. This will help them feel more connected to you and more confident in God's love and care for them. As Stormie Omartian says, "Tell your children a hundred times a day that they are loved." By involving them in the process of prayer and healing, you can help them feel more loved and valued, and you can also help them develop a stronger faith in God's goodness and care for them. I pray that you and your kids will find comfort and strength in God's love and care during this challenging time.
