Scripture Reflection
The Bible reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles. In Psalms 23, it says, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." (Psalms 23:1-3). This passage reminds us of God's presence and care, even in the midst of challenging circumstances.
Prayer for Salvation in Christ
Dear God, we pray for all those affected by cancer, that they may find hope and comfort in you. We pray for their healing, but also for their salvation. May they come to know you as their Lord and Savior, and may they find peace in your presence. Amen.
