Faith Through Illness

April 15, 2017 by c.sweeney

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.
Matthew 21:21-22

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Mark 11:24

When I was asked to write this my first thought was what do I write. I decided to dig deep and this is what I came up with.

When I was so sick in 2015 my faith got me through. Without it I would not be here. I don’t think I ever understood what faith is until then. I knew I needed to have total faith in God. I trusted that God would see me through. The above verses say you must believe and trust in God and he will take care of you. Every time I felt down I just remembered that God was with me. Lying flat on my back without moving for a week was excruciating but communing with God got me through. I believe I have been made stronger. Many times, we feel challenged but we need to remember God will see us through. Whenever I have doubt, I just remember that God is always with me.

Abiding God, even as we struggle may we be reminded that you are there with us.
