In our cancer journeys, we have an opportunity to receive God’s comfort to sustain us, strengthen us, and give us peace. We can listen to God’s words of comfort through the Bible and share with Him our concerns through prayer. We can also pray these verses over people dealing with cancer to comfort them. God is always available to listen to us. See below for some encouragement.
