Your Question:
can i still have hope when my terminal illness is progressing?
Answer:
As someone who has walked through life's ups and downs with my wife Susan, I understand the pain of hope deferred. We've had our share of struggles, and I've seen how hopelessness can set in. But as a pastor, I've also seen the power of hope in the face of adversity. When we're faced with a terminal illness, it's natural to wonder if we can still hold onto hope. The Bible reminds us that God is a God of hope, and that He is interested in our healing and restoration. In Jeremiah 17:14, we're encouraged to pray to the Lord and ask for healing. Jesus gave His disciples power to heal all kinds of sickness and disease, and He still gives that power to us today. As Christians, we have the promise of ultimate justice and renewal in a future that outlasts clinical death. This gives us hope, even in the midst of suffering. When we're struggling with hopelessness, it's easy to feel like giving up. But I want to encourage you to keep holding onto hope. Pray to God, ask for healing, and trust in His promises. Remember that your hope is in a person, and that person is Jesus. He is coming soon, and His response to our prayers is always "Yes." So, keep praying, keep trusting, and keep holding onto hope. It may be hard, but it's worth it.
