Looking for some bible verses for cancer?
I have always been deeply touched whenever I hear of people with cancer especially children. As a mom, I cannot imagine what it must feel like to have a child with cancer and not be able to do much in my own power to heal them.
I have followed so many children with cancer’s journey on Facebook, some have sadly passed on, while others are by God’s grace still here. I have also had friends and family with children that have cancer and adults as well.
I wrote a post on prayers for children with cancer as well and wanted to write a whole post on some bible verses for cancer patients and even their families.
