Those little thoughts of anxiety can so easily creep over a cancer patient. An upcoming doctor’s appointment, an upcoming blood draw, or awaiting the results of a PET scan, can cause us to feel as if we are in the rushing, white water rapids, clinging on for dear life. As I was pondering over the reality of cancer last week, I could here the Lord’s voice speaking to me…as Exodus 14:14 ran through my mind….
“Stop!” the Lord said.
“The Lord will fight for you; You need only to be still.”
“Ok, Lord….but you just don’t understand…”
Again I heard it, “The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.”
Then, it hit me…how many times in life are we not still. How many times do we try to take it back from God, to fix it ourselves, or waste our energy worrying about a situation. What if continually taking our problems into our own hands, changes the outcome from what God wanted it to be? Whatever our role is in life, whether it be that of a cancer patient, wife or mother we need to slow down and…..
Stop….
Lay the gloves down…
Let the Lord win the battle….
He has it under control…
Just be still…

Amen and AMEN! And what a treat to find your site while visiting Women Living Well. Leaving a sweet spiritual legacy in the hearts and lives of my kids and grandkids and others in my life is one of my top priorities. As you also write, it is so vital. And of major eternal value. Thanks for a delightful visit. Have a blessed and beautiful week.
Amen!! We often lay “it” down at His feet, but later walk back and pick it up again. We need to be confident that He will fight for us. Beautiful!
Be still. The easiest, yet hardest thing to do. Wow, I love your blog. Very serene and calming. I love the piano so much. I am praying for you (and crying) too. God is so good and your post said it all. Thank you so much.
