If you or someone close to you is battling cancer, you know that dealing with the illness isn’t easy. The emotional stress can leave you feeling drained and the aggressive treatment process may leave you physically pained.
But know that you are not fighting this battle alone. Friends and family may not fully grasp the situation, but God does. So rely on His word.
Here are 7 verses to increase your strength and comfort you in your fight against cancer:
1. Deuteronomy 31:8. (NIV)- “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” In this time of difficulty, remember that God is always with you. He will never abandon you in your time of need.
