Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with cancer? It is a serious condition that can cause fear and overwhelming emotions. But it can also be used as a teaching tool. Recently, I came across a profound quote on the internet that made me believe that the power of the mind could change the outcome of one’s cancer experience: “Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what is to come.”

The first step in this journey is to have faith in God and trust that He alone has the final say. Jesus encourages everyone, saying, “When you pass through the water, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; neither will the flames kindle upon thee.” (Isaiah 43:2) This powerful reminder is reiterated because we often need to be reminded that we are never alone.

If you want to learn more about this topic and how it affects others, I highly recommend The CANCER Experience anthology. This masterpiece is filled with nine true stories from different authors who have faced cancer in their own unique ways. From battling this three times to losing loved ones to cancer, these stories will inspire and motivate you to become the healthiest version of yourself.
