A few years ago, a pastor friend was diagnosed with inoperable cancer just before Thanksgiving. Following his diagnosis he wrote, “I am thankful for God who is real and personal, for a Christ who is present in power, and for the Holy Spirit who is by our side in every struggle… My Thanksgiving list this year is made not from what I have, but from Who has me – a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I ask or think.”
“For I am the Lord your God
— Isaiah 41:13
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.”
Lord Jesus, we thank You for the promise of Your presence, the possibility of healing, and the hope of eternal life. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
