Test Results~

Jan, once again, got great results. All is still clear! We are thrilled, as you can only imagine, to hear this great news.

She will return in February to MD Anderson. If all is still clear, her treatment schedule will change in that she will get treatment every 3 weeks, instead of every 2 weeks.

Thanks for continuing to join up in praying for complete earthly healing!

Jan ~ Testing

Jan is at MD Anderson. She did her testing last night and sees the oncologist today at 11:30. Please pray for great results!

It's That Time AGAIN

While we love to hear the results STABLE, we love even more hearing results, "LIGHTER." So, it appears the treatment is working even better as the tumor is less visible.

Psalm 106 ~ 1 Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Psalm 135 ~ 1 Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD.

Thank you so very much for joining us in prayer. Please join us as we PRAISE GOD for these fabulous results.

~Prayer~

Jan and Gerald leave this afternoon to head back to MD Anderson. They will drive part of the way today and then finish tomorrow. She has her MRI at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening and her appt with her oncologist is at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

Please join us as we continue to approach the throne of God pleading for victory over this cancer. I know Jan really would love to see considerable decrease in the tumor size. I'm right there with her. While stable is glorious, we would love to see the treatment working in getting rid of the cancer, so she can come off treatment.

Philippians 4:6-7 - Don't worry over anything whatever; tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and the peace of God which transcends human understanding, will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for joining us in prayer!

Love,
Cheryl

~A Grateful Heart~

Jan is finished with all her testing for this month. I'm thrilled to report that all is the same. NO GROWTH!

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Daily trusting in God--acknowledging that He is the one source of all good gifts and success and the ONLY safe refuge when life is difficult--steers us from the dangers of pride and despair.

Jesus once pointed to a little child and said, "I tell you the truth, you must change and become like children. Otherwise, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. The greatest person in the kingdom of heaven is the one who makes himself humble like this child" (Matthew 18:3-4). A child's humility is one of trust--it pleases God when we trust Him as a child trusts and depends on his father.

James points out that trials test and prove our faith (James 1:1-3), but we don't have to wait for challenging moments to begin trusting God with our entire life. The good news is that with complete and total trust in Him, He directs our steps in the most fulfilling paths for our lives.

James 1:1-3

How to Live as a Christian

"1From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
To all of God's people who are scattered everywhere in the world:

Greetings.

Faith and Wisdom
2My brothers and sisters, when you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy,
3 because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience."

2 Corinthians 12:9
9 But he said to me, "My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you." So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ's power can live in me."

God Promises He Will:

Hear Our Prayers ~ Psalms 18:6
Refine Us ~ Zechariah 13:9
Give Us Refuge ~ Isaiah 4:5-6
Eventually End Our Trials ~ Isaiah 19:20

Thank you for joining in prayer!

Faith, Fear & Praying Boldly

Hi All,

I did get a call from Jan about 5:00 p.m. today. They were in Ennis, Texas and called to get Ennis' weather report for tonight and earlier tomorrow to see whether they needed to go ahead and go on to Houston.

I would ask that you continue to take this to the throne of God. Specifically asking: peace, excellent results, wisdom for the doctors, wisdom for Jan & Gerald and lastly for safe travel. Please pray that Jan will remain positive with a bright outlook on her future.

Here is a bit of something about Faith and Fear:

"The antidote to suffocating, stifling, stagnating fear is simple faith."

"If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer. His grace is sufficient, His promise unchangeable." Written by John Newton."

So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you." Isaiah 41:10

"One of the greatest promises of God is that we don't have to face our fears alone. He is always with us; never will He forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). In fact, when we truly experience His love, fear is cast away (1 John 4:18). Why? Love is what must be present for trust to flourish."

God will:
Help you in trouble ~ Psalms 46:1-2
Provide your needs and give you peace ~ Philippians 4:6-7
Eliminate fear ~ Leviticus 26:6
Give boldness ~ Proverbs 28:1

Since we truly experience His love, we can walk boldly, with a sense of confidence to God and let Him handle all the anxieties that trouble us.

Please pray that our family will remain steadfast in our Faith and that we will not give in to Fear. Nothing can rob you of joy, confidence, optimism and opportunities more quickly than a spirit of fear.

"I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge --that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:17-19

~Bolding approaching the throne of God with Faith~

I made another necklace tonight while I was trying to keep busy.

~Ice, Travel, & Most of all PRAYER~

Hi All,

Our Monday brings us ICE. With a good possibility of more icy conditions in the next days. Janet and Gerald were going to leave tonight for MD Anderson, but left about 9:30 this morning. Before they got out of their small community, they saw cars that had flipped, wrecks and so forth. When I talked to them they had made it through the icy roads and were dealing with rain.

So, please pray for safe travels. This visit at MD Anderson was supposed to be for well baby check, as the oncologist calls it, but Janet has been experiencing headaches, so they are going to have an MRI Tuesday at 5:45 and I believe see the oncologist Wednesday. We are praying these headaches do not mean growth.

So, I would ask that you join us in prayer asking for safe travels, fantastic results, and PEACE for Jan. This diagnosis/journey has been weighing heavily on her lately.

Here is some more jewelry.

Have a great Monday!

Cheryl

~November Results~

Hopefully you can tell by this photo, we are PRAISING GOD today for absolutely WONDERFUL RESULTS! The tumors have SHRUNK! Not sure how much, but they are SMALLER.


Janet is now waiting to see the endocrinologist, but her oncologist told her, with the medications she is on, it is normal for it to mess up her thyroid. However, her thyroid results were better today than 2 weeks ago.

You can only imagine how absolutely positively thrilled we are today.

We give ALL OUR PRAISE TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN!

Thank you from the very depths of our hearts for praying!

I sent Janet a text message after Mom called, just saying, "Yea!" I can only imagine how thrilled she is. She responded by saying, "I am so excited. It is ALL God."

Love,
Cheryl

~Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?~

"Is anything Too Hard for the Lord?" Genesis 18:14

This is God's loving challenge to you and me each day. He wants us to think of the deepest, highest, and worthiest desires and longings of our hearts. He wants us to think of those things that perhaps were desires for ourselves or someone dear to us, yet have gone unfulfilled for so long that we now see them as simply lost desires. And God urges us to think of even the one thing that we once saw as possible, but have given up all hope of seeing fulfilled in this life.

That very thing, as long as it aligns with what we know to be His expressed will--as a son was to Abraham and Sarah--God intends to do for us. Yes, if we will let Him. God will do that very thing, even if we know it is such an utter impossibility that we would simply laugh at the absurdity of anyone every suggesting it could come to pass.

Is anything too hard for the Lord?" No, nothing is too difficult when we believe in Him enough to go forward, doing His will and letting Him do the impossible for us. Even Abraham and Sarah could have blocked God's plan if they had continued to disbelieve.

The only thing "too hard for the Lord" is our deliberate and continual disbelief in His love and power, and our ultimate rejection of His plans for us. Nothing is impossible for Jehovah to do for those who trust Him. Taken from Messages for the Morning Watch (Streams in the Desert)

Janet had her MRI this evening. Tomorrow will be: Blood work, oncology appointment and endocrinology appointment. They have a full day. PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYING FOR THIS DESIRE FOR WONDERFUL ASTOUNDING RESULTS ON MRI, BLOOD WORK AND ENDOCRINE APPOINTMENT.

NOTHING IS TOO BIG FOR OUR GOD!

~The Antidote to Fear~Prayer~Testing

John 14:1 ~ Jesus said, "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me."

Jesus commanded His disciples to "trust God; trust also in me." The antidote to fear is faith.

When I toss and turn in the middle of the night, worried and fearful over something that is impending in my life or the life of someone I love, I am comforted and calmed as I meditate on Who God is. It helps me plant my faith in Someone Who is bigger than my fears. I just fall back on Who God is and rest in Him. He cannot be less than Himself! And my God is God!

Next time you feel afraid, make up a list--not of your fears, but of the characteristics of God. Find a Scripture verse or passage to substantiate each one as you reconsider your situation in light of Who God is. Then, if you feel it would be helpful to list your fears, make sure beside each one you write down the attribute of God that applies. The secret to peace lies in your focus.
From: My Hearts Cry ~ Anne Graham Lotz

The Scripture I'm claiming tonight is, Romans 8:18 ~ "The sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be shown to us."
God is bigger than any cancer, any problem, any fear....the list could go on and on.

Tomorrow Janet/Gerald leave for MD Anderson. God already knows the results. He is in control. Ten days (10) days from today, Tuesday, November 3, will mark a 1 year anniversary since we were so rudely slapped in the face by the sound of that ugly word cancer. I know it has not been an easy year for Janet. There is a reason for this. What, we have no clue. We have to place our trust in God. Please pray for a GREAT RESULTS.

Her schedule this time will be:
MRI ~ 8:00 p.m. Tuesday night.
Blood Testing ~ Wednesday morning.
Oncologist appointment ~ following blood work.
Endocrinologist appointment - following oncology appointment.

Janet has a cold/allergy problems right now. So, has not felt good the last couple of days. Pray, she feels better in this regard. She is also seeing the endocrinologist because her thyroid is "overactive." Pray this is something that is just being thrown off from the chemo, and can be remedied easily.

We were saddened today to learn that they also lost their 1 1/2 year old Boston Terrier, Annie. They do not know why. Janet said Bosley their other Boston Terrier was just lost today. Ripley loves Annie and when we were there Sunday evening, she was fine.

"Be assured that if God waits longer than you could wish, it is only to make the blessing doubly precious." By Andrew Murray

Here is a recent picture of Annie.

Thanks for your prayers. We cannot tell you how much they mean to us.

Have a blessed Tuesday~

Cheryl

~Results~

Everything on Jan's MRI was just as before. No growth. Her oncologist is VERY PLEASED with this. With such an aggressive cancer, and no growth, this is truly an answer to prayers. Jan will return in 1 month for, as her oncologist put it, "a well-baby check." She will have not have a MRI at that time, but will just return to see her doctor and probably lab.

Jan was still in with the doctor, but Gerald was taking the prescriptions down to the pharmacy at MD Anderson, so it could hopefully speed their process up, as Houston is in the process of evacuating. Jan/Gerald will be trying to get out of Houston, as I'm sure many others are. It may be a tricky process to find a route they can take to get back home.

Would you pray for safe travels, not just for them, but also for the other travels, a smooth evacuation process for Houston, etc., and the safety of many lives, homes, businesses, etc. from the potential of yet another hurricane.

Thank you for your prayers.

Blessings!

~Testing~

Jan and her husband will leave first thing this morning to make their monthly trip to MD Anderson for testing. She will be having a blood work @ 7:00 p.m. tonight with MRI to follow. Then Wednesday she will see her oncologist to find out her results and plans @ 1:30.

Please join us as we pray for good results. This new treatment she has been on for, I believe 10 weeks now seems to have very minimal stomach problems. If you were to see and talk to her and you didn't know she had cancer, you wouldn't know it unless you were told. This week she will have a birthday, so what better gift, but news that the tumor had shrunk or was gone! It will also be 10 months on the 13th of this month since she had surgery. We are very grateful! God has been so good.

It is our desire that Jan is one who kicks cancer in the bootie and win this battle!

There was a special on all major networks last Friday, "Stand Up To Cancer." Pray that these efforts being made to join forces, raise money, etc. will be successful. Pray that their belief that they are at the brink of discovering how to prevent and cure, as well as detect cancer at very early stages is just around the corner.

The statistics for chances of getting cancer is astonishing!

Thank you for your prayers!

Blessings!

~Jan's August Testing Results~

We just recently heard from Jan regarding her testing to see how the new treatment is working. Of the 2 areas of concern, the one area which Dr. Gilbert was "concerned about" when she started this treatment shows that there is no blood flow to the tumor, and the other area just shows scar tissue.

Jan's oncologist is very pleased with these results. The chemo is doing what it should be doing. They will return in September for their nexted scheduled testing.

Jan talked with her oncologist about returning to work on a part-time basis and he has given her the okay. Jan and I talked Friday and she doesn't have the headaches anymore, so this is very good as well. And, also, they are going to start tapering her off the steroids.

Thank you for joining us in praying for Jan. We are thrilled to have good results, along with the fact that she feels good and that she can start back to work which she has wanted to do for some time, as she has been quite bored.

Please continue to pray that this treatment will kill all the cancer cells, but also leave the good cells alone; pray for Jan as she starts back to work, that this will agree with her, but also that she will be mindful of her limits.

Lamentations 3: 22-23 ~ "Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

Deuterotomy 7:9 ~ "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands."

Blessings!

~Gift of Prayer~

Most of you who’ve been to my blog know that my younger sister has been fighting an aggressive brain cancer since November 13, 2007. We have seen God’s hand at work in many ways since then. It is a desire that God will be given the Praise and Glory for EVERYTHING, as well as Jan having the support and love as she fights this cancer.

Jan’s blog was set up so that family and friends could check on her progress, as well as a place where prayer requests could be listed and to all Honor God.

I had created my blog in May of 2007, but never posted anything until last December. It is my desire that my blog not be about me, but one that reflects and honors Him.

Over the last several months I’ve asked prayer many times for Jan. There have been many who have come along side as we PRAYED AND PRAISED God. Prayer is very powerful! I’ve said many times in the last few months, “There is no better gift than the gift of prayer.”

In Matthew 18:20 NIV it says, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." The Message puts it a bit differently, "Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there."

Anytime we Praise and Honor God satan gets angry! In saying this, over the last 8 months or so there are many occasions where Satan has been angry because of the actions taken to Praise and Honor God. It is satan’s goal to beat us down or set us up for failure. He has been attacking in many different ways. Even though God is walking with us, or maybe I should say God is carrying us, I(we) are human and it is hard not to get caught up, hurt and/or frustrated by these attacks on us by satan.

Satan is using these attacks to try to get our focus off of God. We know that we CAN’T give satan this power. But, as I said above, I(we) are human and its hard not to become involved or troubled by the circumstances. Satan has a way of causing worry, doubt, and question (just to name a few) to creep in our minds.

In saying all this, I would ask that you pray for Jan as she fights this cancer. I would also ask that you pray for OUR FAMILY that we will stand STRONG and FIRM in our belief. We have been blessed with the “gift of prayer” by so many. Pray that we will Honor God in all we do.

We spent the majority of the day in the hospital with our Mom. She woke up quite early; when she got out of bed she experienced left chest and back pain. We thought it best to have this checked. We were very fortunate that she was able to have all the many tests performed today. Everything on her heart has checked out with NO PROBLEMS, so she didn't have to stay overnight. It is possible she could have done something to her back. So, in saying that, I would like you to join me in Praising God for good results today and that this is something minor, such as a pulled muscle or THAT IT IS NOTHING. Update: Tonight this area where she was experiencing pain is very SORE.

I have been richly blessed to have you walk beside me (so to speak) and especially by all the prayers you have offered on my behalf and for my family.

Thank You!

Love,

~Jesus Will Not Reject You~ PRAYER UPDATE

First, I talked to Jan this morning. She has a knot on her leg. This is a new finding. She has been off treatment for almost 6 weeks. Please pray this is a benign finding. She will be calling M.D. Anderson in the morning to let them know and they will also be leaving for M.D. Anderson tomorrow.

Second, they have still be unable to keep Joyce's lung inflated. I talked to Brianna this morning and she most likely will have surgery today to sew the lung where it was punctured. Joyce is very frightened and does not want surgery. I know last week when she saw the oncologist her concern was she was going to die anytime. Remember she is not a Christian.

These are 2 very IMPORTANT prayer requests. I would ask that you pray for Peace for Jan and Joyce. Pray that Jan's cancer is not growing and that she will be able to begin treatment this week. Pray that they will be able to get Joyce's lung to remain inflated. And, pray God places the desire in her to know Him.

JOHN 6:37 LB ~ 37 "But some will come to me--those the Father has given me-- and I will never, never reject them."

People may reject you. But Jesus won't.

Jesus died for sinners. He loves them and will help them -- if only they will come to Him.

Jesus didn't come to condemn us, but to help us. Think of the Bible account of the woman caught in adultery.

JOHN 8:11 NIV ~ 11 "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

Religious people will reject you for any number of reasons. The length of your hair, the food you eat, the way you are or the clothes you wear are only examples of reasons they may reject you.

But Jesus is different. He will accept you just as you are.

Many people think they need to clean up their life and get their act together before coming to Jesus. But they have it backwards. They should come to Jesus now, and let Him "clean them up."

If we could make ourselves perfect -- we wouldn't need a Savior.

~Reconciliation~

I do have an update on Joyce. She saw the local oncologist yesterday, as well as a pulmonolgist. After these appointments they were more optimistic. Tomorrow, Wednesday Joyce will be having a biopsy to find out the type of cancer, as well as a PET CT scan. Once they get these results they will know the type of cancer and if there has been progression. The 3 cm mass they had previously told her about may not be on the aorta. They also found out yesterday that when she had her physical examination last December the spot on her lungs showed up on her x-ray at that time. They, of course, are very upset with this finding as her family physician has sent her for 2 chest x-rays and reported both were fine. Joyce also has referral to M.D. Anderson, so they should be able to get an appointment very quickly.

Jan is in the midst of getting approved for a new clinical trial, checking her blood counts and I've been gathering information on the results and side effects of this new treatment.

And, my cousin is also in the midst of possibly starting a new chemo regimen for her CLL. I've been helping her with this as well. Pretty soon I may be an expert in cancer treatments. Ha! That is very unlikely to happen as it's unbelievable the treatment options and such for each specific cancer. It is very interesting.

I would ask that you remember Jan, my cousin and Joyce as they prepare for what lies ahead. Pray that they will rest in the comfort of God's arms as he directs them in fighting their cancers. Pray for WONDERFUL RESULTS and MINIMAL SIDE EFFECTS. AND, AS I MENTIONED THE OTHER DAY, PLEASE PRAY FOR JOYCE AS SHE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. PRAY THAT GOD WILL SOFTEN HER HEART SO THAT SHE MAY COME TO KNOW HIM.

Becoming reconciled to God is a good starting point in our quest for reconciliation in all of our relationships. As Paul exhorted, “We implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20). We are “reconciled to God through the death of His Son” (Romans 5:10).

Reconciliation in our human relationships can be a difficult process. It must begin with each person accepting accountability for his own behavior. Next, there must be an acknowledgement of wrong doing. This must be accompanied by the replacement of deceitfulness with openness and honesty in the relationship. Finally, a firm verbal commitment must be made to take the specific steps necessary to discontinue all inappropriate behavior.

Obviously, not everyone is willing to do his or her part toward reconciliation of the relationship. Indeed, attempting to reconcile with one who continues to be an abuser is not wise, nor is it God’s will. On the other hand, even when the relationship cannot be reconciled, we can still know that it certainly is God’s will for us to experience His emotional healing. Jesus Christ gives us great encouragement.

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

You can't force someone to reconcile. But, for yourself you have to do what you believe God would want and just as it says above, he would want us to experience emotional healing. This can and has been a very sticky situation lately with a lot of disappointment and hurt. The full details are not needed, but I would covet your prayers. God knows the situation, as well as the feelings.

~Results & Treatment~ SEE WFW BELOW

Mom called awhile ago with the results of Jan's office visit with her oncologist.

First let me say, the results show that there is not actually new tumor, but where there was still tumor has started to grow. BUT, it is very minimal. In order to determine this growth they had to take the MRI, MRS and the PET CT scan and incorporate these studies together. They were unable to see the minimal growth on the studies individually. This is a new software program that M.D. Anderson has and Jan is the first one they've used it on. We are very thankful for this new software and especially thankful for "minimal growth."


Because of the growth they are changing treatment plans. It is a treatment Jan will be able to do at home and it is 2 oral medications. I've pulled the clinical trial on this, but haven't reviewed it as of yet. They will return to M.D. Anderson next Wednesday for testing to make sure she qualifies for this treatment.


Thank you for your prayers!

~Final Results~

Jan's oncologist from M.D. Anderson called this morning and the results of the PET CT scan show a combination of necrosis (dead tissue) and new tumor. While this is not the results we were looking for, there are still many options. God is in control here. It is my desire that I can Praise God no matter what the circumstance. There is so much to be thankful for.

Jan has been off treatment now for two weeks and her counts are recovering, so she is stronger and she is ready to fight until this tumor is gone.

Jan, Gerald and our Mother will be leaving Tuesday for M.D. Anderson. Jan has an appointment scheduled for Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m. to discuss new treatment options. We've been keeping up with treatment options and clinical trials for GBM. I will getting this information to Jan, Gerald and Mom tonight and also looking for anything else I might have missed.

I would ask that you pray for safe travels, wisdom in choosing the correct treatment plan, wisdom for Dr. Gilbert in what he offers to Jan, as well as wisdom as they all discuss these options.

Pray that our family will once again join forces and do what we can to help Jan as she starts on another phase of this journey. Please pray for PEACE and UNDERSTANDING. You don't want the people you care about to suffer. We trust God in His plans even though we don't understand what they may be at this time. He is much wiser than we are and He can see the bigger picture.

Matthew 18:19-20 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

"Faith is the belief that God is real and that God is good… It is a choice to believe that the one who made it all hasn’t left it all and that he still sends light into the shadows and responds to gestures of faith…Faith is the belief that God will do what is right God says that the more hopeless your circumstances, the more likely your salvation. The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers. The darker the room, the greater need for light. God’s help is near and always available, but it is only given to those who seek it."

Thanks so much,

~Preliminary Results~ See WFW Below

I guess it is just a little difficult to have a PET CT scan which takes about 2 hours and then turn right around and see your oncologist. Maybe modern medicine needs to step it up a little more....or is God wanting us to learn to wait...or have a little patience?

The appointment with the oncologist went well. The preliminary results are in. And....they look good. I spoke with Jan and it is their understanding that Dr. Gilbert has had a look at both the MRI Spectroscopy and the PET CT scan. Dr. Gilbert will be giving Jan a call on Monday with the final report of the PET CT scan. So until then, we wait...

Please pray God provides an abundance of PEACE and FAITH as we wait patiently...

~MRI SPECTROSCOPY INCONCLUSIVE ~ ~NEXT STEP~

Today, I am thankful that when Jan has her testing at M.D. Anderson the results are available IMMEDIATELY. We did not think we would know the results of the MRI Spectroscopy today, but we do. They are also inconclusive. What this means, we are not sure.

The next step is a PET CT scan scheduled for tomorrow morning, Wednesday, June 18 @ 7:00 a.m. Jan will then see her oncologist at 9:30 a.m.

Please join us in praying that the PET CT scan shows the areas in question to be nothing more than NECROSIS (DEAD TISSUE).

Matthew 18:19-20
19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

"Faith is the belief that God is real and that God is good… It is a choice to believe that the one who made it all hasn’t left it all and that he still sends light into the shadows and responds to gestures of faith…
Faith is the belief that God will do what is right
God says that the more hopeless your circumstances, the more likely your salvation. The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers. The darker the room, the greater need for light.
