About a year ago, I was visiting with one of our ladies whose husband was in the hospital dying of cancer. He had entered the hospital just four days after she had returned home from surgery herself. She said that when she learned of his illness and his hospitalization, she became a bundle of nerves.
She could not eat; she could not sleep; she could not do anything. One of her friends kept urging her to take tranquilizers but she said she didn’t want to do that. Finally she said, “I found my prescription in God’s word.” She shared Philippians 4:6 with me from The Living Bible, which says, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers.” She told me that prescription literally saved her life.
