Your Question:

What now? I just found out I have cancer.

Answer:

I can imagine how frightening and overwhelming you must feel after receiving a cancer diagnosis. My wife Susan and I have faced a similar situation in the past when I was diagnosed with what we thought was cancer. Thankfully, it turned out to be a mistake, and the lumps didn't return.

However, even though we pray and have faith, the outcome and timing are ultimately God's decisions. As it's written in Ecclesiastes 3:3, there's a time to heal. If you pray for healing and nothing happens, don't beat yourself up for it. God sometimes uses a person's physical ailments to get their attention so He can speak to them. Keep praying, but know that God's decision is the bottom line.

It's essential to remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His timing is not ours. While it's natural to feel scared and uncertain, try to focus on the present moment and trust in God's sovereignty. My wife's prayers for my healing had a significant impact on me during that difficult time, and I'm sure your loved ones are praying for you too. Hold on to that hope and faith, and know that you're not alone in this journey.
