There were times in this journey I didn't find my faith to help change my feelings, attitudes and behaviors. The first disappointment came when I received the news the Dr felt a lump on my prostate and ordered a biopsy. The anxiety and terror I felt was off the charts. I'd hoped to feel some peace, but I spent many sleepless nights without a single moment of peace.
When I became seriously depressed coping with the loss of urinary control and erectile functioning I spent months wondering why I couldn't access any Biblical promises to bring me any sense of relief. However there came a time when access to my faith and the wonderful promises of God made a huge difference to me, how I felt, and my attitudes. While I was still coping with many issues I knew this verse would be true:
2 Cor 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
However I never expected, imagined or dreamed that I would write a book or host a forum in order to reach out and help other men and couples coping with prostate cancer.
I could go on and on taking pages to share the very many places my faith and Brenda's faith made a huge difference in our lives and our relationship.
Here's the place to share how your faith made a difference in your life as well.
