A wonderful and heart-wrenching post from a husband and wife facing terminal cancer with their eyes firmly on Jesus. Read Dave Black's How To Pray For Us. Here is a snippet.
So Jesus can be trusted. We can rely on His good judgment when it comes to our health. The only thing we can never justify is disobedience to His commands.
So as you pray for Becky do not pray primarily or even exclusively for her cancer to be healed. Pray that we will remain obedient, trusting, and joyful in the valley. Ask God to help us to follow our upside-down Messiah who upset the political status quo so much so that he got the Roman electric chair. Pray that Becky and I would never forget that, in the kingdom of God, down is up and that it is indeed God's kingdom we are serving, and not our own, until that day when we will stand, side by side, brother and sister, in His presence.
Oh that I would exhibit the same Christ-focus in my own life in the face of much smaller trials.
