Dear God,

Having cancer causes me to pause, reflect and pray.  It helps me put things in perspective, persuades me to count my blessings and motivates me to reconsider my priorities.  All the extraneous things simply fall to the wayside.  I have another 30+ days to wait to see if my body still holds more cancer.

This holding time is producing fruit in me.  It is keeping me closer to you and to those I love most.  It is forging a deeper faith. It is inviting me to trust you more.  It is keeping me in today realizing if I try to dally in tomorrow, it will not be profitable, so I hold and wait with you.

Thank you,

O God,

for holding me

in this time

of waiting.

I am surrendering

my fear

and anxiety

into your hands.

Praise you,

my God,

who created me

and embraces me

even now.

Yours, Andrea
