"Praying for you." Words coming from so many people too numerous to count. Makes me wonder. Who am I that people will actually take the time and effort to pray for?
But that is what belonging to a Christian family means. People I don't hang out with. People I rarely see or talk to. People I met just a couple of times... When they find out I have cancer, they will immediately say they will include me in their prayers. These are not empty words of comfort. I actually feel the sincerity of their concern and I am encouraged.
Some people cannot be with you physically. They cannot help you mentally, emotionally, or financially. But when they pray for you spiritually, this encompasses the physical, the mental, the emotional, and the financial.
There is a bond that binds us. Deeper than words can ever explain. It begins with the blood of Jesus Christ that teaches us to love unexpectedly and unconditionally.
I may be sick but I am in good hands. I am in God's hands.
