The prayer I found online is beautiful and I offer it to all my friends⎯those in the blogging community and in my own neighborhood⎯who are dealing with this terrible illness. The numbers of those I know struggling with cancer is really quite astounding. Scary even.
Bless, O God,
all who struggle with cancer.
Empower them with hope
for each and every day.
Provide them with loving
and tender care, laughter,
and the support of love.
Grant them
courage when they are afraid,
comfort when they are in pain,
and your blessing
when all else seems hopeless,
that in their fight with illness
they may continue to praise you
and glorify your name.
Amen.
Happy Easter to all of you! May you be blessed exponentially during this Holy Season.

Thank you for the evidence of God's beautiful world and the prayer. I will keep it close as a pray for a dear neighbor.
Thank you Gail for this powerful, inspirational post. I too find so many I know with this terrible disease including my sister. I lost a friend recently to cancer.
Beautiful, Gail. Not only the deep pink in the dogwood blooms, but beauty in each word. Bless her heart...I will be adding her to my prayer list. so much cancer everywhere, and much prayer is needed.

Dear Gail,
I read this now. I had no internet until last Friday. Only my phone to display. Google+ here and there
How awful that your girlfriend has this terrible disease. Last year, on May 16, I lost my sister at the age of 52 from this disease, so I know what you must be going through. Girlfriend A lot of strength and praise for your tribute and your prayers.
Kind regards, Helma
