Cancer took me by surprise
Christ knew all of my days before there was one of them
Cancer deforms my body
Christ formed my inward parts and knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
Cancer zaps my strength and makes me weak
Christ is my strength when I am weak
Cancer reminds me that I have no control
Christ reminds me that nothing is out of His control
Cancer threatens to take my life
Christ came to give me eternal life
Cancer takes me on a rollercoaster
Christ is my rock and firm foundation
Cancer makes me fearful of the future
Christ is already there!
Cancer disrupted my life
Christ’s plan was unhindered
Cancer makes me feel helpless
Christ is an ever present help in trouble
Cancer can make me feel like I’m all alone
Christ will never leave me or forsake me
Cancer may destroy my body
Christ restores my soul
Cancer offers hopelessness
Christ offers everlasting hope
Cancer says my suffering is for nothing
Christ says that my suffering makes me more like Him
Cancer takes
Christ gives
Cancer wants to have the final word
Christ has already given me the victory
Cancer isn’t the big C
Christ is.
