É #interessante o #contraste que o apóstolo faz entre #ansiedade e #oração.
Fica evidente que os níveis de ansiedade são inversamente proporcionais ao nível de oração.
Isso significa que quanto mais oração, menos ansiedade.

I’m a Christian with stage 4 cancer. 10 months ago I was told I had about 6 months to live.

I’ve been fighting cancer for about 29 months total at the time of this post. I won’t lie. Humanly speaking, it’s been a pretty awful ordeal filled with losses, instability, and straight up pain.

The Christian claim is not that faith removes suffering, but that it
relocates it - placing it inside a larger story where death does not get
the final word. To belong to the household of God is not to escape the valley, but to walk it tethered to the One who has already walked through death and come out the other side.

I've come to see my suffering not as a random tragedy, but as part of a
much bigger war - a cosmic conflict between good and evil that runs
through every human story.

I believe we live in a created world that was desecrated by a foreign
evil - a corruption that entered through sin and rewrote the goodness of creation with malignant code. Cancer isn't from the heart of God; it's a symptom of the serpent's vandalism. My good cells were
hijacked, re-scripted by the de-creative power of the curse.

But in Genesis 3:15, right after the fall, God gave humanity a promise -
that a Deliverer would come, one who would crush the serpent's
head. That Deliverer is Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, He secured a sweeping cosmic victory over death, sin, and hell. The whole Bible tells the story of how this Ultimate Good defeats evil. All evil. And all of its accoutrements!

“Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” Hebrews 2:14-15

That's the true story I'm living in. My suffering has meaning because it's
tethered to His victory. What was meant to make me fear death has
instead made me long for resurrection and love Him more. What was meant to silence my faith has only amplified it. The cancer that was supposed to destroy me has become my vehicle to glorify God. My valley has become my weapon - because I'm part of a story that cannot end in darkness.

The cancer that was supposed to get me to “curse God and die,” has instead been used to humiliate the enemy that thought cancer was his to wield against me.

I have experientially felt the truth of Paul’s words: “when I am weak, He is strong.”

My suffering has not been removed, but it has been relocated.

And so, dear reader, I invite you into that same sweeping victory.
Connect your pain, your questions, your suffering to the One who
conquered death itself. His name is Jesus. Through Him, every valley ends in light.

After all, none of us are suffering from anything that a good resurrection won’t fix.😬

If you find in yourself even a faint longing for that kind of hope - not a quick “fix-it,” not guarantees, but a Person to trust - then that longing
itself is an invitation. Jesus does not ask you to clean yourself up,
perform belief, or pretend certainty.

He just asks you to come to Him.

He asks you to come honestly,
with your fear, your questions, and your wounds, and to humbly entrust
yourself to Him. Faith, at its core, is not a formula. It is a yielding - placing your life, and yes, even your suffering, into the hands of the risen Christ. And those hands still bear scars that say "you are loved indeed.”
