Greetings and peace be with you Bmiah;
Allah can help in ways that doctors can't. In 2011 I had tests done for cancer, about a month later the doctor phoned and said he urgently wanted to see me, it was non – Hodgkin Lymphoma. This was a name I recognised, our friend had this cancer, and died a few months later. I prayed for the wisdom, strength and peace to do God’s will, whether the cancer was a death sentence, or just an inconvenience. I can only say that from the moment of making this prayer, I have experienced a profound sense of peace, and the thought of cancer has never troubled me for a moment.
Cancer could be a truly worrying process, you wait a month or two for tests, you wait for the results, and you wait for more treatment and tests. I have never once prayed for healing, at the age of 62, the prayer for healing seemed too complicated, it might or might not be my time to go. Recognising this profound sense of peace comes from God, gives me reason to be thankful.
We all die, so death is not the final problem, I am approaching seventy, so I know my health is on a downward spiral and the thought of strokes becomes more of a reality. But Allah will never place a burden on us that we cannot carry, so I pray for the wisdom, peace and the strength to live with any health problems that come my way.
In the spirit of trusting in Allah;
Eric
