The will of God

Dr Vicik says, “I’m sure this is going to help a lot of people who are in a position where they may be feeling down or if things are against them because of illness, this could be an inspiration.”

Ed is now able to share with others battling cancer, giving them hope, building their faith, and offering comfort.

“God spoke to my heart,” Ed told us. “God has allowed it to be a blessing in my life, and I can use it as a platform of ministry in a way to really touch other people’s lives.”

Ed is very grateful that he had a relationship with God and that he had someone that he could rely on, someone who would strengthen him during his difficult times. Sometimes I can’t imagine why people would even bother to get out of bed in the morning if they didn’t know God. There is a lot of pressure in the world today, a lot of stress, a lot of things we can get concerned about. We all have different things come up at different times that we don’t like, that we don’t enjoy and we weren’t expecting, and it’s so wonderful to be able to put our trust in God, to say, “God, I know that you love me and that no matter what kind of a situation I have, all things are possible with God.” This scripture that I was reading you before said, “thank God in everything; no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks. This is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus.” It starts out though in verse 17 and says, “be unceasing in prayer, praying perseveringly. Thank God in everything, no matter what the circumstances may be.” Then it goes on to say, “do not quench or suppress the Holy Spirit.”
