Cancer to a Prayer?

Chemotherapy, curse or blessing?

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” – Romans 8:28 AV

Consider: For something to work together for my good, surely God has to, somehow, turn it into a blessing.1 Doesn’t faith inspire an omnificent God to creatively combine things together into a blessing?2

Further Consideration: If everything becomes a blessing, is it not possible the answer to my prayers may look absolutely nothing like what I’m expecting; perhaps even looking like something that would normally be considered a curse? 3

My Prayer: God help me4 to remain focused on You and Your promises and not be distracted by my circumstances.  You are omnipotent; my circumstances are not!5  Help me to remember that even if I’m walking through the valley of the shadow of death that You are with me.6

What shall we then say to these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us?  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? — Ro 8:31-32 AV
