@nannybb As long as you know the Lord, you are never alone - and never “only have me.” You have the full army of heaven behind you and the power and provision of God! However I do believe that faith calls us to act “as if” He is our healer, will help us pay those bills, take away fear, grant us a peaceful heart when we ask according to His word. I learned (am still learning) that when I let go of what I have been clinging to so tightly, I need to trust that He will catch me when I fall. We cannot in our own strength “hang on” forever” - ask God to show you what to do and He will let you know - perhaps all at once, perhaps step by step. For we only need to see through the light of His presence, what the next step illuminated to place our foot on will be - God knows the path - trust takes us forward; fear (or the need to be “in control?”) may hold us back. If you are not attending some type of bible based corporate (ie., with other believers) place of worship, I know this would be very helpful in combatting fear and loneliness and building faith, joy, and relationship. If you have any of those books of bible verses to help with fear, anxiety, depression, healing, provision, , etc. pull them out (or look some up on line) and find some that are helpful to you - to speak as affirmations - or when you need them. These really help me - for His word is sharper than a two- edged sword…I prayed for God’s favor over you. May you find peace and rest in His arms - and may your faith increase as He continues to meet your needs on a daily basis. May God bless you richly!

@chosenpuppy1 Thank you so much. Your messages help more than I can express. You have a wonderful way of relating you faith. My worry and anxiety hit me and I DO go to God's word. I have been using the Dwell app. It has been helping with breath prayer. It calms me every time. I also especially love to listen to their nightly sleep devotional and listen to complete books of the Bible. Regarding church, few know I am almost totally deaf. I was born with congenial nerve deafness and it has progressed because I also came down with Meniere's. Each episode of that takes away more of my hearing. My father was almost deaf, and his father was deaf. So lots of factors. I say all of that, to say, the last church I was a member of was in Jax, Fl. First Baptist. I miss it so much. Hearing aids were working for the most part at that time. Through Covid it's gotten worse. I moved back to Portland to be with family. It has been extremely difficult to find a conservative church of any kind here. I know we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves with other believers. I did contact a branch of the church I grew up in. They have reached out to me. When I am not in such pain I'm going to try and attend there using an app on my phone to communicate. I have many people praying for me. I did get my PET scan back. It revealed I do not have 3 more tumors! I am waiting for my oncologist to confirm that. I see him this next week. So I DO believe in prayer and that God has all things in His control for His glory and our good. Please keep up the wonderful encouraging texts. You are a God sent. I go back and read them over and over. Thank you for your prayers as well.
