Peace be with you, and thanks for sharing.
Peace is a profound commodity. I find the peace of God that surpasses all understanding during times when I know I should be feeling fear, worry or anger.
In 2011 I had tests for cancer, about a month later the doctor phoned and said he urgently wanted to see me, I had non – Hodgkin Lymphoma. This was a name I recognised, a friend had this cancer, and died about a year later.
A few minutes after putting the phone down; 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. I only made this prayer once in faith, then the prayer turned to thank you for another day of peace.
I believe my peace and the lack of worry and stress helped my healing. Recognising this profound sense of peace comes from God, gives me reasons to be thankful.
I never once prayed for healing, the prayer for healing seemed to complicated, it might or might not be my time to go.
