8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. 10 He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. 11 You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many. 2 Corinthians 1:8-11
I love how our prayers bring God glory for a number of reasons. But today is a day it does so in the spirit of verse 11...that the many who have begged for mercy get to praise Him for blessings granted. My oncologist and friend Kent's pathology report came back with no sign of a viable tumor. Praise and thank You Living God for Your mercy!
